Creatures Of The Night

I said, "When I get tired, I get sad And these days I'm tired all the time" She said, "Cowboy, it's your lucky night 'Cause I'm into fucked up pickup lines Let's go and have a smoke Or maybe just a cry 'Cause I've had a pretty shitty night myself And I might be a little high" It'd been years since I cried like that You don't know until you're there how it can ever get so bad There's safety in a stranger So I say shit that I should hide But she don't interrupt me And she don't cut me with her eyes So when we wake up in the morning For once, it don't feel like regret And I pray to god that she remembers And I pray to god I don't forget 'Cause it'd been years since I'd felt some calm You don't know until you're there if there's a reason to keep going on There was a night we had in August Laying on the hood of her car Just talking in the darkness About our bruises and our scars And when she reached out just to touch me I knew she knew that inside It feels better in the darkness To have somebody by your side And it'd been years since I'd felt that close You don't know until you're there what it's like to not feel so alone A couple years it felt steady Like it could all turn out alright But it's hard to hold the ship straight When you're both creatures of the night So I'd turn to the bottle She'd get lost in her pills 'Cause there's demons in the darkness And there's monsters in these hills It'd been years since I'd fallen that hard You don't know until your there how the light can seem so far We used to laugh about the ending When I was drunk and she was stoned It wasn't like we ever meant it It was always just some dark joke But when I found her in the morning That's when I knew I should have known You can't have nobody in the darkness You're always all alone It'd been years since I cried like that You don't know until you're there how it can ever get so bad You don't know until you're there how it can ever get so bad
