Shuteye

I remember when the sidewalk still left space for you
I was sleeping on one side of a queen bed
You might have been everybody else's home too
But I know for sure you were mine, this I know
And the sounds of the city still echo in my head
Ask me why I left you there

Asking me why I gave up the chance
To go and get some Shuteye while I can
Always thought that I would have another chance
To go and get some Shuteye again

Mmmmmm
They tell you to forget about the love songs
When I finally did that's when you caught my eye
But I sat too long in the sunlight through the window
That I forgot that it's still January outside
As the lights of the city become silhouettes
My heart won't let me forget

Asking me why I gave up the chance
To go and get some Shuteye while I can
Always thought that I would have another chance
Oh to go and get some Shuteye again
Every time that fruit flavored coffee touches my lips
It's like I'm back in Harlem again
And I'm kicking myself 'cause I gave up, I gave up the chance
To go and get some Shuteye while I can
