Sunlight shines
 Gentle away
 Cause daytime can show
 What nobody knows
 You still care for him
 And want him to stay 

He’s sleeping beside you now 
Finally you touch
 Gently and enough 
Fingers run through his hair
 You’re taking everything 
And store it far within 
This is the life of an innocent thief at night 

He can’t turn back time
 And have it undone
 And you can’t say
 He’s forgiven anyway
 You still care for him
 Want him to stay

 It’s dark and love is everywhere
 (You steal a kiss he’ll never miss)
 It’s dark and he’s still here
 You know you still care

 He’s sleeping beside you now
 Finally you touch
 Gently and enough 
Fingers run through his hair 
You’re taking everything
 And store it far within 
This is the life of an innocent thief at night
