I lay next to myself breathing slow
Car crash in rewind
There’s nothing you could have done, said a soft voice
Calm down, you will survive

Leave me out of my mind sedated
Bitter and blurry eyed
Please don’t look in my face when I'm wasted
You know you can’t relate

And the world got a little more dim tonight
The world got a little more dim tonight
Though you had to go, I won’t forget your light
The world got a little more dim tonight

Days come, just like our friends, with a soft glow
A warm touch that slowly fades
You’re just out of my reach in the shadows
Still young, but weathered gray

And the world got a little more dim tonight
The world got a little more dim tonight
Though you had to go, I won’t forget to fight
The world got a little more dim tonight

I will protect your light

Lay down with me tonight, breathing slow
Back in the driveway
Rest now, kiss me goodbye in the morning
I'm with you always

And the world got a little more dim tonight
The world got a little more dim tonight
Though you had to go, I won’t forget to fight
The world got a little more dim tonight
