Verse 1
Stayin up all night forever
Can’t get you outta my mind
It feels like you said you’d never 
again, again

Pre-Chorus
and you don’t realize
what you did
feels like you don’t even know how
You were so kind to me
Yet leaving me out
It’s not what I thought I'd see 

Chorus
Take me to a place where I won’t be
wait-ing for someone to hold me 
I gotta go and get up for my dreams
Oh, but will it be long before I can just say...  

Verse 2
Stayin up all night forever
I can feel what’s coming to me
Don’t bother to remember 
All the love I had for you 

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
Just letting myself free
I will not let 
you break 
my heart
again

I’d give up everything now 
If only I could see you again

I'll run to the stars so bright 
You can't put out my light

Can't stop runnin’ tonight

Verse 2
Last night you were here right in my arms 
Tonight you’re not here you’re not there, you’re not anywhere
