I know when the nightime comes
You feel lonely and blue
You lie awake waiting for day
I know because I do too
The endless nights
When you long for sleep
To escape the darkness
And the truths it keeps
Lying in your bed
By youself you're not alone
Staring at the ceiling
Your thoughts are all thrown
Trapped in your mind
Watching the sky
Silence surrounds you
And all you can ask is "why"
Regrets are stronger
When the lights go out
When the sky grows dark
They're all thats about
So I'm going to torch the moon
Lock away the stars
Just for you my love
We can hide from our scars
I'll banish the night
And the things it brings
We'll have endless days
To hold together our seams
So no more crying
To the cold heartless moon
Because my love
It'll be gone soon

This is so original! I love the idea of taking away the moon, you don't just say "I'll hold you, it'll be alright" you go and remove the whole friggin' problem! Lol, really cool!
