[Intro — Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I watch you breathe, I can not sleep
I touch your hair, I kiss your skin
And hope the morning sun won’t wake you too soon
For when you wake and look at me
You never know, you just might see
Another boy who crept into your room
Take your time, that’s what you told me
Take your time
But I fell head first and I just don’t know what to do
[Chorus]
Nothing looks the same in the light
Only a fool like me would take to heart
The things you said you meant last night
Nothing looks the same in the light
I’ll keep my feet firm on the ground
Nothing looks the same in the light
There’s a danger in a stranger
With a warm hand, then a kiss so right
Nothing looks the same in the light
It’s been a pleasure, see you around
[Verse 2]
I watch the sun upon the sheets
I hear a car out on the street
And gently pull you close, it’s over too soon
What can I do but wait and see
Hold on to you, please stay with me
Where am I now, your love, or a fool
[Verse 3]
Please be kind
Don’t change your mind
Because you’re the first
And I want to stay here with you
[Chorus]
Nothing looks the same in the light
Only a fool like me would take to heart
The things you said you meant last night
Nothing looks the same in the light
I’ll keep my feet firm on the ground
Nothing looks the same in the light
There’s a danger in a stranger
With a warm hand, then a kiss so right
Nothing looks the same in the light
It’s been a pleasure, see you around
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Please be kind
Don’t change your mind
Because you’re the first
And I want to stay here with you
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Nothing looks the same in the light
Only a fool like me would take to heart
The things you said you meant last night
Nothing looks the same in the light
I’ll keep my feet firm on the ground
(In the light)
Nothing looks the same in the light
There’s a danger in a stranger
With a warm hand, then a kiss so right
Nothing looks the same in the light
It’s been a pleasure, see you around
(In the light)
Nothing looks the same in the light
Only a fool like me would take to heart
The things you said you meant last night
(In the light)
Nothing looks the same in the light
I’ll keep my feet firm on the ground
(In the light)
Nothing looks the same in the light
There’s a danger in a stranger
[Verse 1]
I watch you breathe, I can not sleep
I touch your hair, I kiss your skin
And hope the morning sun won’t wake you too soon
For when you wake and look at me
You never know, you just might see
Another boy who crept into your room
Take your time, that’s what you told me
Take your time
But I fell head first and I just don’t know what to do
[Chorus]
Nothing looks the same in the light
Only a fool like me would take to heart
The things you said you meant last night
Nothing looks the same in the light
I’ll keep my feet firm on the ground
Nothing looks the same in the light
There’s a danger in a stranger
With a warm hand, then a kiss so right
Nothing looks the same in the light
It’s been a pleasure, see you around
[Verse 2]

And gently pull you close, it’s over too soon

Nothing looks the same in the light

I’ll keep my feet firm on the ground
(In the light)
Nothing looks the same in the light
There’s a danger in a stranger
