Stay Awake

Your cheek is softly touching mine
Your hands reach over to my side
Your breath pushing my hair back
Pushing back all those thoughts of being alone
Pulling forward my music to mix with yours
Touching your soul with mine

Our hands colliding in the rain
Your arms around me moving slow again
Please don’t forget my name when the clock strikes 8
Please don’t look away when I leave this state

Your hair is tangling with mine
Your feet shift so mine fit in between
Your voice pushing warm whispers into my brain
Pushing my heart beat into yours in time while hours fade away
Pulling you into me so I can hold your head in my hands
Touching the single tear on your cheek

Our hands colliding in the rain
Your arms around me moving slow again
Please don’t forget my name when the clock strikes 8
Please don’t look away when I leave this state

Your eyes are bright as you look away
Your lashes fluttering with nervous laugher
Your mouth afraid to push out a smile in this moment
Push back your nervous thoughts and look this way
Pull me into your eyes and let me see
Touch me across the table

Our hands colliding in the rain
Your arms around me moving slow again
Please don’t forget my name when the clock strikes 8
Please don’t look away I leave this state

Can you feel the drumbeats, slow and steady speeding up
Our hands colliding in the rain
Can you hear the bass deep within my chest
Your arms around me moving slow again
We’ve got a lot that hasn’t even begun so
Please don’t forget my name when the clock strikes 8
I’ll stay awake so I don’t miss a thing just
Please don’t look away when I leave this state
