Verse 1)Step outside and kill the porch lightLet the quiet settle in your bonesWe are standing on a spinning rockTrying to make a heavy world a homeLook up past the power linesLook beyond the city's neon glowThere’s a map written in the ceilingThat our great-grandfathers used to know(Chorus)And oh, they’re just giants in the darkBurning up to show us where we areA million miles away, a little silver sparkThey’re just giants in the darkYeah, they’re just giants in the dark(Verse 2)They don't care about our deadlinesThey don't mind the secrets that we keepThey just watch the continents drift byWhile the rest of the hemisphere’s asleepThat light left Orion's shoulderLong before this town was even builtIt’s a funny way to feel so smallUnderneath a cosmic velvet quilt(Chorus)And oh, they’re just giants in the darkBurning up to show us where we areA million miles away, a little silver sparkThey’re just giants in the darkYeah, they’re just giants in the dark(Bridge)We wish on them when they are fallingWe name them when they stay in placeBut we are just a fragile heartbeatStaring out into the deep of spaceAnd it’s beautiful to knowWe’re made of the same dust that makes them glow(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)(Chorus)And oh, they’re just giants in the darkBurning up to show us where we areA million miles away, a little silver sparkThey’re just giants in the darkYeah, they’re just giants in the dark(Outro)So kill the porch light...Let the quiet in...They’ll be burning long after we are gone.Giants in the dark.(Fade out on a single acoustic guitar strum)
