Up Late At Night Again

Up late at night again

The clock's ticking me

Dragging me towards the morning

What would you rather be

The captain out at sea

Or the drunk man falling



I don't ever wanna say goodbye

If I go first I'll tell you what it's like

I'll always want to have you by my side

For all time



I try to write again

This pen's tricking me

Scratching lies like always

I turn off the light again

The silence pricking me

And then I'm gone 'til morning



I don't ever wanna say goodbye

But if I go first I'll tell you what it's like

I'll always want to have you by my side

For all time



Alarm clocks pressgang me

Back to life

The Queen of Snooze is rising

You know what you mean to me

I'm the captain drunk at sea

and you're the starlight falling



I don't ever wanna say goodbye

But if I go first I'll tell you what it's like

I'll always want to have you by my side

For all time



I'm never going to leave you by yourself

I know you'll get lonely 

If I'm not around

You'll need someone to help you get through

The good times
