Intro: Verse Can you give me something? Tonight, I'm so alone The moon is upside down, hanging on a telephone But I remember every little bad dream Every pretty slow dance Pre-Chorus So can I pick you up later? (When your temperature's better) If you need a little shelter (Be your cool operator) Keep it all quiet, yeah (Just a little longer) Let the night wind you down, baby, down And she smiles, how about that? I was just about to jump before you called me back And you know the pain comes home And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone And I've lost so much more than I ever had Now my name is the night, honey, color me black C-color me black Verse Can I take you somewhere? Would it make a difference? Like pretty roses on a deathbed But I remember you in your white dress In your mama's hands Pre-Chorus So can I pick you up later? (When your temperature's better) If you need a little shelter (Be your cool operator) Keep it all quiet, yeah (Just a little longer) Let the night wind us down, baby, down And she smiles, how about that? I was just about to jump before you called me back And you know the pain comes home And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone And I've lost so much more than I ever had Now my name is the night, honey, color me black C-color me black Bridge And how long, how long until you believe that part of me is gone? With your sweet, naive kiss I used to feel the same until I let the darkness in And it costs me nothing, baby, not nothing more than this Nothing more than this useless heart in my chest Nothing that I needed, nothing I regret Nothing that I needed, and I'd do it all again I'd do it all again And she smiles, how about that? I was just about to jump before you called me back But you know the pain comes home And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone Singing, "Ooh, not just yet" When I go, I'll be going out in flames and fiery reds And the quiet to me, such an ominous sound Said my name is the nighttime now Yes, the quiet to me, such an ominous sound And my name is the night, honey, color me black
