i'm too tired to go to bed
i'm too wired for anything except
the crossfire in my head
it's been a long night
cos i took all i can take
til the walls shook and the windows break
i want to phone you but it's far too late
it's been a long night

so talk me down
talk me down
talk me down
talk me down

cos we fought an endless war
til we forgot what we were fighting for
now we can't stop
but we can withdraw
in the long night

so talk me down
talk me down
talk me down
talk me down

the light flashed and i thought i'd died
my life passed before my eyes
it went too fast for the love i feel
inside

so talk me down
talk me down
talk me down
talk me down

down, down, down

lay your head near mine
tell me that it's all fine
love me while there's still time
it's been a long night
