We were lost inside this dream
of a perfect life it seems
on pages wrote, we found this home
just you and me
and we made one last attempt
to believe that we'd forget
you may never know
a feeling just to hard to leave

(wooah, wooah, woaah)
too many times we wished our lives could be this simple
with every line I hear of stories yet to be told
and when you're lost, keep holding on
I'm terrified of what's to come
but I'll be the light in the dark
and I'll beat the odds

on a night for all to see
when the lights shine down on me
in every note, we found this home
just you and me
and at last I passed the test
to believe that in the end
you'll always be the strength I need
to pull me through

(wooah, wooah, woaah)

too many times we wished our lives could be this simple
with every line I hear of stories yet to be told
and when you're lost, keep holding on
I'm terrified of what's to come
but I'll be the light in the dark
and I'll beat the odds
leave all your worries and the times that I thought we'd share
too young to make it out alive, a cross to bear
but if there ever comes a time when you want me there
I'll be forever in your life
forever in your life

too many times we wished our lives could be this simple
with every line I hear of stories yet to be told
and when you're lost, keep holding on
I'm terrified of what's to come
but I'll be the light in the dark
wooah
too many times we wished our lives could be this simple
with every line I hear of stories yet to be told
and when you're lost, keep holding on
I'm terrified of what's to come

I can't sleep and I can't breathe
I can't be there when you need me
but I'll be the light in the dark
shining as bright as a star
but I'll be the light in the dark
shining as bright as a star
but I'll be the light in the dark
and we'll beat the odds
