lyrics

Walking in your sleep
Drowning both your cheeks
Come let's play a different game
Mind without a rest
You pass the human test
Not the first to lose their way

Remember yesterday no more
This is the dark before the dawn
They might be disappointed at first
But they'll always understand
Like the friend I had

Caught under a storm
The fault is hardly yours
If you can't outrun the rain
So tell them, try your best
To get it off your chest
They will not turn you away
Hey hey

A warning shot to end the war
It's just the dark before the dawn
They might be disappointed at first
But they'll always understand
Like the friend I had

(Mmmmm)
Like the friend I wish I had
(It's just the dark before the dawn)
(I wish I had, I wish I had)
Like the friend I wish I had
They might be disappointed at first
But they'll always understand
Like the friend I had

(Mmmm)
