When the night is young but it makes you feel much older
And you comatose each waking hour of life


When the days go by but the darkness lingers longer
And before you know it life is one long night


But when I close my eyes, I see you standing for me
And if you take my hand I'll leave it all behind


Because only you can set me free
So hold me close just like the first time


Flashing lights illuminate your halo
And my pounding heart beat thunders like a drum


When we used to dance we never cast a shadow
'Cause there was only you and me when we were young


And in a sea of scars the first cut is the deepest
No matter where you are, I'll always think of you


(Chorus)
Because only you can set me free
So hold me close just like the first time

And show me how it used to be
Because only you can set me free
(Only you can set me free)


Only you
Only you


(Chorus)
Because only you can set me free

So hold me close just like the first time
And show me how it used to be
Because only you can set me free

(Only you can set me free)
