Tracing our fingers from right to left We're too drunk to even walk And all of a sudden you bring up our problems So I guess you wanna talk 'Cause they say the bigger the love, the harder the fall Well, I'm crashing through the floor Said you're leaving When the morning comes All packed up If the feeling's gone Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me Just keep on holding on Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me All our memories are packed into boxes Stacked up against the door 'Cause they say the bigger the love, the harder the fall Well, I'm crashing through the floor Still feel your breath on my lips As you're walking out the door But my hand starts to slip Never felt like this before If the feeling's gone Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me Just keep on holding on Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me I've been looking in the mirror Trying to figure myself out I've been wondering where I went wrong But now you're not here It's like the daylight never comes So I'll keep on holding on Said you're leaving When the morning comes All packed up If the feeling's gone Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me Just keep on holding on Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me If the feeling's gone Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me If the feeling's gone Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake with me
