Lyrics

[00:05.14] I have a mandolin
[00:08.70] I play it all night long
[00:12.63] It makes we want to kill myself
[00:20.44] I also have a dobro
[00:24.57] Made in some mountain range
[00:28.39] Seems like a mountain range in love
[00:36.31] But when i turn up the tone
[00:40.18] On my electric guitar
[00:43.92] I'm afraid of the dark
[00:48.24] Without you close to me
[00:59.07] I went out in the forest and caught
[01:03.31] 100,000 fireflies
[01:07.12] As they ricochet round my room
[01:10.49] They remind me of your starry eyes
[01:15.16] Someone else might not
[01:18.66] Have made this so sad
[01:22.90] But this is the worst night
[01:26.04] I've ever had
[01:30.47] Cause i'm afraid of the dark
[01:35.41] Without you close to me
[02:18.97] You won't be happy with me
[02:22.90] Give me one more chance
[02:26.71] You won't be happy anyway
[02:34.69] Why do we still live here
[02:38.58] In this repulsive town
[02:42.69] All our friends are in new york
[02:50.70] Why do we keep shreiking
[02:54.44] When we mean soft things
[02:58.38] We should be whispering all the time
