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…
