Lyrics
Lie awake
Lie awake and stay with me
Lie awake
Lie awake and stay with me
I can't sleep
But I won't think out loud
For fear that I might let on
That I am anything but proud
Like maybe scared
That I can never do enough
To give you the life you deserve
Where you rise up above me
Will you rise up above me?
Lie awake
Lie awake and stay with me
There's no truth
That you don't seem to understand
And could surely use a little more
Of your heart and your hands
To lift me up
So come on get up
A night like this won't wait for dawn
No, nights like this just won't wait for dawn
The hours never get better
Than when we're lying together
How can I turn you back on?
I need you for more than one song
I need you for more than one song
Lie awake
Lie awake and stay with me
