Lyrics

Too Long
This night has gone on far too long,
It's time to call an end.
The atmosphere is darkening,
And trouble will descend

What started off so full of hope,
And positivity,
Now driven down a one-way street,
With no one at the wheel...

Lights and voices amplified,
And whispers turned to screams,
Tension almost visible,
I need to disappear

What started off so full of hope,
And positivity,
Now driven down a one-way street,
With no one at the wheel...

INSTRUMENTAL

What started off so full of hope,
And positivity,
Now driven down a one-way street,
With no one at the wheel...

The night is over, dawn's arrived
And memories unclear.
But sunlight helps us to return,
To our normality

Nah, nah, nah, nah,
Nah, nah, nah
