[Intro]
There's no-one watching over me tonight and I'm afraid to turn out the lights
If I close my eyes, it'll all go away and I don't want to see it end this way
[Verse 1]
There was a time when truth and trust meant so much more to each of us
And all the dreams that once we had have seen the sun and left us feeling bad
Now the changing of the guard has left us feeling so damn hard
I'll keep my business, but I'm a little bit afraid
Through the years one thing hasn't changed
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah-hey
I would run through fields of fire
I would crawl on broken glass
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
That's all I ask
[Verse 2]
Now feeling good is not good enough, I know they've changed but not that much
Midnight time has left us feeling beaten up, I never was one who needs to give enough
I am not a hero who gets the girl, but if I had my chance to save the world
I won't blow it now, I guess I'll understand
This boy becoming a man
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well, look at your hands if you hear what I said
Can you count on your fingers each of your real friends
I know that I'm lucky, I know I'm right
Fingers turn into fists, we're here to take on the night
That's right
Now I'm staring at an open door, we've had a lot and I want much more
You can keep all the money, and the streets that's painted gold
If someone gives me back my soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-hey
[Chorus]
I would run through fields of fire
I would crawl on broken glass
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
I would run through fields of fire
I would run through fields of fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I would run
All the way back home, I would run
Baby come along
There's no-one watching over me tonight and I'm afraid to turn out the lights
If I close my eyes, it'll all go away and I don't want to see it end this way
[Verse 1]

All the way back home, I would run
Baby come along
