i’m like a lion in the still of the night
bracing myself for rejection
but willing to put up a fight
cuz my mama wouldn’t leave me alone
no, she laid down her arms
and i was drenched to the bone
no, my mama wouldn’t leave me alone
so like a martyr in the middle of life
i know that it’s coming
but i still feel right
i still feel right
i know that it’s coming
but i still feel right…
i finally found the light of my life
oh, it was only a cry for attention
and nobody knows you tonight
i’m like a lion in the middle of night
but i’ll glow in the dark
if you do me just right
i’m like a lion in the middle of night
believing in the air that i breathe
i deal in suspension
but i built you for speed
now i’m leaving in the air that i breathe
so now i’m finally gonna give up the ghost
no, i ain’t nothing special
i just love you the most
now i’m finally gonna give up the ghost
and now my roar is gonna rattle the night…
i’ll wait in the darkness
til i get you just right
now i’m lyin in the middle of night
and no one’s gonna notice your burn
you know i aim for perfection
but i’m willing to learn
and i ask for not a thing in return
am i finally gonna see you tonight?
or will i wait in the darkness til i get you just right?
am i finally gonna see you tonight?
