[Verse 1]
Wish upon star well it might true
But while you're staring at the sun you neglect the moon
With your back turned bracing up against the wall
You'll be picking up the pieces of what you want

[Verse 2]
The storm is a coming so you better run
The coldness is hungry like loaded gun
Sharks are circling out in the deep you
Dream for tomorrow when you can't sleep

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
There's nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide, when the sun goes down

[Verse 3]
My spirit is sinking like a ship's been wrecked
Old history repeating trying to forget
Waves are crashing up against me now
Make it out of here some way, somehow

[Verse 4]
Fight like thunder 'til my body breaks
I've nothing left to lose it's been taken away
Everything precious now is gone
Forever I'll be waiting for the rising dawn
[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
There's nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide, when the sun goes down

[Bridge]
There's a flame
There's a flame
There's a flame in the darkness
There's a flame, there's a flame (x2)

[Chorus] (x2)
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
There's nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide, when the sun goes down
