I wake up in the middle of the night
I wish the moon were dimmer
And the stars would go out
Can we just sit here a little longer
I know it doesn’t show where we will go
But its alright not to know
Why do I always give away my heart?
I hand it out to the strangers that I meet
And I let it float under the bar where I sit
Why do I always give away everything?
I wake up in the middle of the night
I wish the moon were dimmer
I wake up in the middle of the night
Won't the Stars Go out?
Hey you do you have some time?
Hey you can you take what’s off my mind?
I come home from work and I stare at the ceiling
I let it be my reel for the evening
I close my eyes you are distant I am near
I close my eyes you are near and I disappear
Your name
Your voice
I'll never know
Your name
Your voice
I surrender
I wake up in the middle of the night
I wish moon were dimmer
And the stars would go out
