Staying Up Late
I’ve a lot on my mind I want to forget
And there’s so much more I want to remember.
But it seems I can’t concentrate on more than one thing
So I’ll leave reality for imagination.
Staying up late and getting up early.
Staying up late…
I have no intention of living the American dream.
And yet I don’t want to die forgotten.
I just want to live my life to the best of my ability.
So give me a voice and inspiration.
Staying up late and getting up early.
Staying up late…
I don’t know!
That’s what it all comes down to.
I don’t know…
I don’t know!
That’s what it all comes down to.
I don’t know…
I sit in front to the TV screen and try to ignore it
But I’ve never been able to change my life.
I pray to God for something to fill the emptyness
But all I have is my music to fill my time.
Staying up late and getting up early.
Staying up late…
