Well, I never took a shortcut out I don't know about you And looking back is so damn hard But I still manage to And I'm quick to call you over When I'd rather call you mine So I'll meet you in the middle I just need a little time These days Are keeping me up at night No way You're taking me down Let's stay Awake through the morning light Let's leave this town And you keep me for the lonely days I swear to God it's true I can't blame you 'cause I've done the same thing Many times to you There's a truth that we cannot deny 'Cause fate don't lie, my friend You're the reason for my rise, my fall Beginnings, and my end These days Are keeping me up at night No way You're taking me down Let's stay Awake through the morning light Let's leave this town These days Are keeping me up at night No way You're taking me down Let's stay Awake through the morning light Let's leave this town
