Something In The Dark Lyrics by JD Souther

Tenderness

2015

You’ve been up too late, sitting in a cooled room
Staring at the ceiling, waiting for a call
I know where you live. I can hear you breathing
No matter what you do now, tears are gonna fall
Something In The Dark
Is big enough to hold you
It’s picking at your heart
A little piece at a time
There’s a shadow on the wall
You hear voices in an empty room
Something In The Dark
Will get you every time
There’s nothing you can say you haven’t said already
Nowhere you can go that you haven’t been
You could have made a deal when your hands were steady
Before you shut the door on your only friend
Something In The Dark
Is big enough to hold you
It’s picking at your heart
A little piece at a time
A shadow on the wall and
You hear voices in an empty room
Something In The Dark
Will get you every time
You better watch you step, if you ever take one
You could stumble in the darkness or fumble in the light
Your breath is getting heavy, drowning out your footsteps
You can run, run, run, and never get it right
Something In The Dark
Is big enough to hold you
It’s picking you apart
A little piece at a time
You could try to scream
But nobody can hear you
Something In The Dark
Will get you every time
