Wide open eyes in the night,

why aren’t you sleeping?

Your face is lit from the light,

why aren’t you sleeping?

Can I see those pretty eyes,

can you look at me?

Can I see past those lies,

can you look at me?

Darling,

why aren’t you sleeping?

Can’t you see me?

Please stop your weeping,

Can’t you see me?

Can I hug you real tight,

can you feel me?

Can we never fight,

can you feel me?

Can I taste the coffee on your lips,

do you still drink it before bed?

I can remember those little sips,

do you still drink it before bed?

You haven’t seen me in months,

but I have yet to leave.

You haven’t held me in months,

but I have yet to leave.

Darling,

can’t I have one last night,

why can’t we be forever?

The light is so bright,

why can’t we be forever?

Please,

why are you fading away,

can’t I stay with you?

Why is everything lit up like day,

can’t I stay with you?

Your beautiful face,

I want to see it again.

Your beautiful eyes,

I want to see them again.

Darling,

why can’t I stay,

I want to be forever.

Why do I have to be away,

I want to be forever.
