it’s serene, you and me on this empty street
and the moon’s smiling down and the air’s cool and sweet 
I haven’t seen the sun set in about a year
I think I need to be asleep but I’d rather stay here
so please excuse me nervously glancing down at my phone
late at night’s the only time we can hang out alone... just our luck
but I don’t mind staying up 

this week, all of your shifts start at 6 PM
I need to be in [sic] my desk before 8 and the last train just left
but I’ve got coffee and cigarettes
yet I suspect I won’t need to deplete my supply
because your presence brings me energy that lasts for days
so my eyes might look dead, but my heart’s awake 
let’s not rush
cuz I don’t mind staying up 

I’m so sleepless, but this is a dream 
I get restless when you’re looking at me 
oh I when I gaze into your eyes I feel the night become alive
Something awakens inside of me
