It was a dark and stormy night I chose to run away
I freed myself of my sins
I couldn't bear to face myself for who I'd been before
I didn't know better then
If I was somebody else I would find a way to get it right
Leave the violence on the shelf
Then again it's just so hard to see oneself in another man
And I am not somebody else
Take me out to a place
Where the people celebrate
All the lost ones that relate
Tell me love how you prayed
For a moonlight serenade
In your late nights spent awake
There's another side to the stories we all tell ourselves
If we could do it all over again
It's a lot to admit when we know deep down that we transgress
We offend our fellow man
Take me out to a place
Where the people celebrate
All the lost ones that relate
Tell me love how you prayed
For a moonlight serenade
In your late nights spent awake
Can't go back to say we're sorry
All we can do is forgive
This is so much weight to carry
It's corrosive to me
Can't say that I would forgive me
Can't blame you for how you live
Look how the world went and changed us
Somehow we live.
Take me out to a place
Where the people celebrate
All the lost ones that relate
Tell me love how you prayed
For a moonlight serenade
In your late nights spent awake
