You waken from a dream
You step outside
To find the world is changing
Under your feet
Somewhere in the past
Is the world you knew
Soon you'll find that freedom
Is not so sweet
I can't imagine why you'd throw it all away
After everything i've said to you today
When you turn around to find there's
No one then you finally realize what you've done

In the night when there's no one there at all
In the night do you hear somebody call
You see someone and you tell yourself you're wrong
You hear a voice and you know it must belong
To the night just a shadow on the wall
And there's no one there at all

I gave you everything
Everything i had endlessly
Believing your love was true
And you will never know just how it hurt
To find that you were turning to someone new
I know that we can't ever change
What has been said but how can i
Believe our love is really dead
When you turn around to find there's no one
Then you finally realize what you've done

In the night when there's no one there at all
In the night do you hear somebody call
You see someone and you tell yourself you're wrong
You hear a voice and you know it must belong
To the night just a shadow on the wall
And there's no one there at all
-solo-
And when you turn around to find there's no one
Then you finally realize what you've done
In the night...

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
