Nights Like This Lyrics

Right here face to face in your sheets
We're tucked underneath all these city street lights
Where everything starts with your kiss
Didn't I do it all for the nights like this

So I built up a home in your chest
You gave me the space so I put my bags down
Now empty with boxes unpacked
I didn't know it was a month to month rent

Didn't I keep hoping that your heart would stay open
For more than the night
Didn't I
Didn't I
And when you said you're sorry, It was a likely story
But I ran to your side like a ghost in the night

When the light is so bright
You get a little bit
Little bit blinded
When you're lifted so high
Falling feels like flying
When you're lost in those eyes
Feels like you might be gone forever
So, one last kiss then let it end on a night like this

With your hands held up over my eyes
All the dark looks like some kind of starry sky
But we're on the edge of a burning high rise
And I know that I did it all just to lose your grip

Didn't I keep hoping that the truth meant nothing
I heard what you said but I know what you did
Didn't I keep trying even when your lies were lying
Like a thorn in my side, every time, didn't I?

When the light is so bright
You get a little bit
Little bit blinded
When you're lifted so high
Falling feels like flying
When you're lost in those eyes
Feels like you might be gone forever
So, one last kiss then let it end on a night like this

Didn't I keep hoping that the truth meant nothing
I heard what you said but I know what you did

When the light is so bright
You get a little bit
Little bit blinded
When you're lifted so high
Falling feels like flying
When you're lost in those eyes
Feels like you might be gone forever
So, one last kiss then let it end on a night like this

Hayley Gene Penner (formerly known as W. Darling) is a singer-songwriter born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She grew up sharing the stage with her father; iconic Canadian family entertainer Fred Penner.

Penner spent her first four years in LA in a sort of songwriting bootcamp. Learning the ins and outs of the industry and yes, sleeping in a closet in a house with seven men. As is the case with many new-to-LA artists, Penner got swallowed up in the industry and spent the last two years redefining what it means to be authentic. What it means to protect your identity and own your flaws with kindness, compassion and acceptance.

After making and shelving four albums in the process of finding her true self, she is now stepping out as a classic singer-songwriter with a focus on story telling. More specifically, telling her story. Her debut album, People You Follow, is a brave, fearless and self-explorative dive into vulnerability and the inevitable shifts that occur when we stare down the barrel of our flaws and own them.
