I should have known
I saw the look on your face
You're a book and I have memorized every page
You can say what you want
Cry on my shoulder
You're telling lies to yourself
Over and over

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
'Cause the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

Look how the stars are suspended in space
You can try to explain as you're losing your faith
And you can search all you want
Find all the answers
You fell in love with a girl
That's all that matters

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
'Cause the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

And now I know I've been here before
I'm sure we've been wanting more
I know its déjà-vu for sure
I know

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
'Cause the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared
