  • Sitting here wide awake
    Thinking about when I last saw you
    I know you're not far away
    Close my eyes and I still see you
    Lying here next to me
    Wearing nothing but a smile

    I gotta leave right away
    Counting cracks along the pavement
    To see you face to face
    Thinking about the conversation
    I know I'm not one to change
    I've never wanted nothing more
    But as I walk up to your door

    I'm standing in the dark
    She's dancing on the table
    Looking through the glass
    She's someone else's angel
    It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back
    But I'm wanting you back, girl
    And now I'm standing in the dark dark
    Oh dark dark

    All I wanna do is hide
    But I can't stop myself from staring
    Wishing his hands were mine
    I can't stop myself from caring
    And as he turns down the lights
    I'm feeling paralysed
    And as he looks into her eyes

    I'm standing in the dark
    She's dancing on the table
    Looking through the glass
    She's someone else's angel
    It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back
    But I'm wanting you back, girl
    And now I'm standing in the dark, dark
    Oh dark dark, oh dark dark, oh dark dark

    Standing in the dark
    I'm standing in the dark

    I'm standing in the dark
    She's dancing on the table
    Looking through the glass
    She's someone else's angel
    It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back
    But I'm wanting you back, girl
    And now I'm standing in the dark dark
    Oh dark dark, oh dark dark
    She's someone else's angel
    She's someone else's angel Writer/s: ANDREW CHRISTOPHER BROWN, DAVID THOMAS ANDREW MORGAN, KI FITZGERALD, RYAN GARY FLETCHER
