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 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,
My beginning, 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.
