lyrics

Don't go, I know a better one to tell
You're here sharing stories oh so well
Say what you like and tell me how it hurts
Cuz I'm myself too dumb to find the words

This hour's power devoured all of me
But I'm here half awake to hear you sing
Say what you like and tell me what it's like
To be so fascinating here tonight

Chorus:
Our glasses are empty, but it's not yet time to sleep
So I'll follow your stories until I just can't keep awake
All the fairy tales and nightmares seem to tangle into songs
You say, "Maybe you wanna be sleeping?"
But I don't
And I won't go

The fire's dying, but we don't care at all
You're here cuddling up to tell me more
Sing what you like despite it's getting light
I haven't felt like this in a lifetime

Chorus.

Our chatter is empty, but it's not yet time to sleep
So I'll follow your stories until I just can't keep awake
All the fairy tales and nightmares seem to tangle into songs
You say, "Maybe you wanna be sleeping?"
But I don't
And I won't go

And I won't
