[Verse 1]
Last night I dreamt
Of a swimming pool filled with tears
I called out your name
The choir just held up their hands

[Pre-Chorus]
We hate when the night comes
It’s dark & it’s cold
Sleeping with our backs turned
Better than being alone

[Chorus]
Cry now, cry later
Goodbye alligator
Cry now, cry later
Hello alligator

[Verse 2]
I put on a sad face
But not really that sad
But searching for sympathy
So I guess kinda sad

[Verse 3]
I asked the choir
“What’s there to sing about?”
They put their hands in their pockets
And nothingness is all they found
[Pre-Chorus]
We hate when the night comes
It’s dark & it’s cold
Sleeping with our backs turned
Better than being alone

[Chorus]
Cry now, cry later
Goodbye alligator
Cry now, cry later
Hello alligator
