Stay Awake Songtext
3 a.m. on the Pac Coast coming from the studio,
to the solitary uno and the one,
wearing nothing but her eyes and her ears.
Glass reflects tears
Her blue eyes mirror the sun
Chorus of a siren on the eve of her sunrise
Wind beneath her feet drag the ocean tide
Whispering, remember:
I'm the shadow by your side and the fuel that burns your light,
As I..

Stay awake to watch you sleep
Close my eyes on the red eye home
The channel's dead and the frequency's fading out
I think it's time, it's time you told me

You say that now, just wait awhile,
I'll be fine and you can always
save your breath, the best for last.
On your knees, you're a sucker for this laugh.

I'm lost in a lateral line
and I reach for the delicate ride
We were heading over Vegas and the captain lost an engine,
and a plane named fate went into a nose dive.
I said shoot it to me straight cause I can not stand it
when you beat around the bush like some anagram bandit

So you said,
we're going down and it won't be too long
and in my last moments I kept wishing I could turn you on.

Stay awake to watch you sleep
Close my eyes on the red eye home
The channel's dead and the frequency's fading out
I think it's time, it's time you told me

You say that now just wait awhile,
I'll be fine and you can always
save your breath, the best for last.
On your knees, you're a sucker for this laugh.
