Some of us will learn what none of us should know Smoke can fill this room, there'll be nothing left to show Hold on to the ones you love There won't be time to show enough We need each other like flower pots and dirt For seven years we've spent growing from the earth It's hard to see how all of this will end For the consequence of a broken heart to mend Stay awake with me, it's getting light outside When time is still, for you it hurries Stay awake with me so I can see the sun Rising up upon your shoulder People change their ways when there's nothing there to lose Coffee talk and crimes runs cold blood through our time You won't recall all your wins but the toughest beats Will haunt your heart and mind, mind Stay awake with me, it's getting light outside When time is still, for you it hurries Stay awake with me so I can see the sun Rising up upon your shoulder Stay awake with me, take this picture And move your face a little closer Stay awake for me, close the window And stop this room from getting colder Some of us will learn what none of us should know Smoke can fill this room, there'll be nothing left to show Stay awake with me, it's getting light outside When time is still, for you it hurries Stay awake with me so I can see the sun Rising up upon your shoulder Stay awake with me, take this picture And move your face a little closer Stay awake for me, close the window And stop this room from getting colder
