On the night before you left, we stood across from your front steps
Do you remember what I said? I mean it now like I did then
I probably said it much too soon, I can't help but feel the way I do
I swear to God, I try my best to keep my head without you

Open up your tired eyes, there's no time for sleep tonight
Just wake up for just a little longer

I don't wanna spend another night with just cell phone by my side
To keep my company, I lost count of all the times I've fallen asleep
Waiting for your name to come light up my screen

So many nights spent on those steps. We'd sit for hours while we went
On and on about how we were holding on to everything we've
Been building up these past few months. But lately it's been so hard to trust
That everything will work out just for us even when you're gone

Open up your tired eyes, there's no time for sleep tonight
Just wake up for just a little longer

I don't wanna spend another night with just cell phone by my side
To keep my company, I lost count of all the times I've fallen asleep
Waiting for your name to come light up my screen

The last thing I see before I close my eyes is a flashing light
I think my phone's about to die, but I'm still waiting
Oh no, I need to hear your voice but I'll settle for less
And if I had a choice, I'd get myself outta bed and
I'd bring you here so I wouldn't have to sleep alone

Open up your tired eyes, there's no time for sleep tonight
Just wake up for just a little longer

I don't wanna spend another night with just cell phone by my side
To keep my company, I lost count of all the times I've fallen asleep
Waiting for your name to come light up my screen

I don't wanna spend another night fighting to keep open my eyes
I need you here with me, I lost count of all the times I've fallen asleep
Waiting for your name to come light up my screen

On the night before you left, we stood across from your front steps
Do you remember what I said?
