Stay Awake - Julia Nunes, Zach McNees

It’s like I don’t have the patience,

Or the will power to separate myself

From this inundating era I’ve been dealt

And all across the nation pixelated screens light up the night

Of insomniacs and night owls alike

But we can turn off the lights the sun’s coming up

No dreams tonight to interrupt.

Turn off the alarm before it sounds

And get out of bed without putting your head down, down

I’ve been closing my eyes real tight

But the space between my lids betrays the light

So I’m up again, I lost the will to fight.

The scrolling information pulls me in and holds me in a trance.

Link to link, no I don’t stand a chance

And we can turn off the lights the sun’s coming up

No dreams tonight to interrupt.

Turn off the alarm before it sounds

And get out of bed without putting your head down, down

Stay awake with me

In the darkness you will see what I’ve known all along, all along

Baby when you’re sleeping

I wonder if you see me in your dreams

Do you know exactly what all of it it means

Maybe we are falling and when I hit the ground I disappear

But you open up your eyes and I’m still here

And we can turn off the lights the sun’s coming up

No dreams tonight to interrupt.

Turn off the alarm before it sounds

And get out of bed without putting your head down, down
