lyrics

Tell me am I in for another night awake?
I’ve given it my best shot.
To play it cool and wait,
but the feeling never stays.
You’re giving all that you’ve got.

Don’t you know this city never sleeps
I would rather waste it all
Hearing every secret that you keep
You know that I want to know them all

But I’m lying around like a ghost in the house
And I just can’t get out

But don’t you try
Just tell am I gonna make it through the night
Without you?
Don’t you try
Just tell am I gonna make it through the night
Without you?
Don’t you try.

What you’ve got, I need it all
In this place, something I’ve never had
And I’ve found, that nothing’s wrong
With you here, something I’ve never had
But this city never sleeps
I would rather waste it all
Spilling every secret that I keep
I want you to know them all.

Another night’s sleep without you
Don’t know if I will pull through.
