If you gotta go, then go

It wouldn't bother me if you never leave

We're both kind of tired i know

And my heart beats low...



I wanna tell you all my stories but i can't get started

Cause i'm too scared that any moment

I'll be broken hearted

I couldn't face another morning waking up alone

So i'll reach out and try to grab you in the dark

But you already know it's me

And i've been up late, lately

Been staying up late, lately



Even the city's asleep tonight

And it feels like we're the only two people in the world awake

And in the blue tv light

You'll ignore the excuses that i make

They're all bullshit anyway





Somehow you've gotten in my world of dreams and surreal colors

But if i close my eyes you'll disappear like all the others

And i've forgotton all the stupid things i used to say

And i still feel like i should want to run away

But there's nowhere i'd rather be

Than staying up late, lately

Up late, lately





Spent so much time tossing and turning endlessly

So i didn't realize how peaceful love could be





So if you gotta leave then leave

But i really hope you'll stay

You put all my ghosts to sleep

And they've been up so damn late

Keeping me up late, lately

Keeping me up late, lately
