Lyrics

Turn off your phone, turn off the light
It’s been a long day, it’ll be a long night
So much to do, so much to say
We’ll get it all in before you move away
So far away

And I know that you won’t sleep
Thinking of everything you’ll leave behind
And you know that I won’t either
Knowing I’m one of the things that’s on your mind
So why don’t we stay awake?
At least until the break of dawn
At least until you’re gone

I can drive, you choose the song
I’ll memorize the way you sing along
You want to do great things someday
I’m fine with good so I’m gonna stay
I wanna stay

And I know that you won’t sleep
Thinking of everything you’ll leave behind
And you know that I won’t either
Knowing I’m one of the things that’s on your mind
So why don’t we stay awake?
At least until the break of dawn
At least until you’re gone

We’ll be by the water
Like we always seem to be
I wonder how you’ll manage
Living so far from the sea
I wonder just how many years
Before we meet again
Let’s take every moment while we can

Cuz I know that you won’t sleep
Thinking of everything you’ll leave behind
And you know that I won’t either
Knowing I’m one of the things that’s on your mind
So why don’t we stay awake?
At least until the break of dawn
At least until you’re gone

Don’t think you’ll cry, you haven’t yet
Stare at the sky and share a cigarette
All we can do is let time run
And watch the rising of the sun
