I need you here beside me to chase the night away

I need your love to guide me safe through another day

I lie and watch the lights go down

Say goodnight to another town

And though it hurts to be alone

I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm

In the afterglow of your love

Dreamings all Im guilty of

Everyday Im playing tough

But read my mind

Chorus

If you could see me now

Just living my life in a limbo

If you could see me now

The me that only you would know

Still burning in the afterglow

When the beat of the drum has faded

The show comes to an end

The stage is cleared and loaded

And the highway calls again

I stand and watch the lights go down

In the afterglow of your love

Dreamings all Im guilty of

Everyday Im playing tough

But read my mind

Chorus

If you could see me now

Just living my life in a limbo

If you could see me now

The me that only you would know

Still burning in the afterglow

Stay with me right to the end

Till I can hold you again

Repeat chorus
