Lyrics Stay Awake - Julia Nunes, Zach McNees

Stay Awake

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
