I lay next to myself, breathing slow Car crash in rewind "There's nothing you could have done," said a soft voice "Calm down, you will survive" Leave me out of my mind, sedated Bitter and blurry-eyed Please don't look me in my face when I'm wasted You know you can't relate And the world got a little more dim tonight (whoa-oh-oh) The world got a little more dim tonight (whoa-oh-oh) Though you had to go, I won't forget your light The world got a little more dim tonight (whoa-oh-oh) ♪ Days come just like our friends with the soft glow The one touch that slowly fades You're just out of my reach, oh, in the shadows Still young but weathered grey And the world got a little more dim tonight (whoa-oh-oh) The world got a little more dim tonight (whoa-oh-oh) Though you had to go, I won't forget your light The world got a little bit more dim tonight (whoa-oh-oh) I will protect your light ♪ I will protect your light ♪ Lay down with me tonight, breathing slow Back in your driveway Rest now, kiss me goodbye in the morning I'm with you always And the world got a little more dim tonight The world got a little more dim tonight
