Still Awake

Why dont we hit rewind
To the first time that I saw you locked eyes with mine
And my jaw dropped to the floor
Cause I've never seen a face like yours before
Shoulda known back then
We were standing worlds apart
Because you even said
That you break a lot of hearts
But I knew that I had you and I let that fire fade

Cause you could love me
Say you're sorry
And I'd believe
Cause the heat of burning next to you
Would set me free
How could you love someone and not fall asleep in their arms
I am dreaming of someone I know you can't become

Now we're both up north
Near a whole year later but my heart's still sore
I've seen your parents house
I've met your childhood friends and I think they're great
Trying to keep my cool
Cause you're close enough to touch
I wanna be your friend
Casually at lunch
But if you keep smiling at me like that
I think I'm gonna die

Cause you could love me
Say you're sorry
And I'd believe
Cause the heat of burning next to you
Would set me free
How could you love someone and not fall asleep in their arms
I am dreaming of someone I know you can't become

If I gave you words to say then you'd be perfect
If I made up your excuses you'd be worth it
You're the hero of the story and I'd follow you at will
Cause I love the thought of you more than what is real

Cause you could love me
Say you're sorry and I'd believe
Cause I'm burning
To keep you warm
And it's hard to leave
How could you love someone and not fall asleep in their arms
I am dreaming of someone I know you can't become
