Perhaps I wait in the dark while you roam,

You talk and act and sing and lie

While I, well I… I can’t help but stay still

And sit quietly and to the side and sigh

There are differences between us, it should be clear to see

But why judge me when I was once you?

When I was the outgoing friend, who would do everything you now do

And you were me, the silent word who everyone would simply let be

It’s may just be an awkward phase

Or the natural coming of age

But that’s not what I care for

When we are really all the same in our core

Who cares if I chose to stay shy

Or if you want to laugh with some guys

In the dark we are all the same

And in the dark we will for now remain

Trying to find the way to our light

Even if it means leaving behind the comfortability of the night.
