[Verse 1]
Maybe I could see you in the evenin'
You could be the only book I'm readin'
I could give you everything you need and more
Darlin', don't go tellin' me I'm fakin'
I'm the one who's givin' you this aching
Why'd you only want me when I'm leavin' your door
Woman won't you tell me what you're thinkin'
I give you the truth you don't believe me
You don't even listen to my words anymore [Hook]
While everybody else is sleepin'
I go out into the evenin' [Chorus]
When the darkness comes
I go out and run the streets all night
Just to satisfy
If you need someone
Put your jacket on
Meet me outside
Maybe we could find a place to hide [Verse 2]
Lady, you're the only thing I'm seeing
If things are getting hazy
Am I dreamin'
I don't know what's fantasy or real no more
I've been makin' stories
I've been waitin'
All this time I know she's hesitatin'
I'll be setting wonderin'
When you're comin' home
Sun is going down
I throw a shirt on
Now's about the time
I get my hurt on
My heart's beatin' as
I head for the door
Right now my thoughts are as me
And the only thing
That can relax me
Is the sound of my runnin'
Feet on the floor [Hook]
While everybody else is sleepin'
I go out into the evenin' [Chorus]
When the darkness comes
I go out and run the streets all night
Just to satisfy
If you need someone
Put your jacket on
Meet me outside
Won't you come outside?
When the darkness comes
I go out and run the streets all night
Just to satisfy
If you need someone
Put your jacket on
Meet me outside
Maybe we could find a place to hide [Bridge]
Woman, I know you don't know me
But I wish you could
Despite the fact that
So many think I'm crazy
I know we could be so good
So right
And you, you don't know me
But can't we just run into the night? [Chorus]
When the darkness comes
I go out and run the streets all night
Just to satisfy
If you need someone
Put your jacket on
Meet me outside
Won't you come outside?
When the darkness comes
I go out and run the streets all night
Just to satisfy
If you need someone
Put your jacket on
Meet me outside
Maybe we could find a place to hide
