I've been searching for my home
But in the dark, you're on your own
Can't find shortcuts without light
So in the dark, I stumbled through the night

And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by

I am tapping out the beat
Of my own heart
As I walk alone
Like to burn my lips on you
Or a better night, with a better view

And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by

Only came here to hide
And get away from it all
But it's strange you see
How your marks on my heart
Are brighter in the dark
Are brighter in the dark

I can see the orange moon
Through spider webs of blackened trees
Mock my eyes don't share your glow
I'll find my way as I go

And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by
And that's how I'll get by

Only came here to hide
And get away from it all
But it's strange you see
How your marks on my heart
Are brighter in the dark
Are brighter in the dark
