I believed I had it figured out
Then thieves in the night come
Slowly as the mornings get me down
Never a moment is right
I thought there were boundaries
Lines uncrossed and sacred space
But you have a hold on me
And I can’t seem to break away
I’ve never been rebellious
I’ve barely even told a lie
Now I’m feeling jealous
Of the ones who aren’t afraid to try
It’s like I haven’t grown up
Trapped inside a box of
Rules I followed as a child
Just when I think that it’s my time
Come thieves in the night
I believed I made most of my time
But I watch the time fly
Wasted days they make me want to cry
I’m hardly getting by
I thought there were boundaries
Ties undone and rules to bend
You still have a hold on me
And I don’t know when it will end
I’ve never been rebellious
I’ve barely even told a lie
Now I’m feeling jealous
Of the ones who aren’t afraid to try
It’s like I haven’t grown up
Trapped inside a box of
Rules I followed as a child
Just when I think that it’s my time
Come thieves in the night
Thieves in the night, night, night
Thieves in the night
Thieves in the night, night, night
I know I’ve been mostly lucky
And I have all that I need
But I just can’t break free from all the power you have on me
And you don’t even see
Don’t you see?
I’ve never been rebellious
I’ve barely even told a lie
Now I’m feeling jealous
Of the ones who aren’t afraid to try
It’s like I haven’t grown up
Trapped inside a box of
Rules I followed as a child
I’ve never been rebellious
I’ve barely even told a lie
Now I’m feeling jealous
Of the ones who aren’t afraid to try
It’s like I haven’t grown up
Trapped inside a box of
Rules I followed as a child
Just when I think that it’s my time
Come thieves in the night
Oh you’re a thief in the night
Thieves in the night
You’re a thief in the night
