Here, Awake

Hear me say that I'm needing it now
Oh, God has sent you far away from me
One more day that'll feel like a year
The letters that I write have turned to one

And I'd sleep, but you know I won't
The words beyond these walls
They keep me here, awake

My name, hanging off the lips of your old friends
Talking about the patience of a sad man
Weathering the worst of the storm
Your name, sounding like the end of a long day
Picking up the weight off of my plate
Giving me the strength to go on

One more night that I'll fight to survive
Memories that we share just come to life
One more word that I wish I had said
The conversations you don't know we've had

And I'd sleep, but you know I won't
The words beyond these walls
They keep me here, awake

My name, hanging off the lips of your old friends
Talking about the patience of a sad man
Weathering the worst of the storm
Your name, sounding like the end of a long day
Picking up the weight off of my plate
Giving me the strength to go on

And our names fill the void that's left of an embrace
Given long ago in a driveway
Close my eyes and fill you near
And our fate, held in the hands of a watch face
Ticking down the time like a foot race
Never thought I'd last this long
