Look Up Again

3 a.m.
Then as you look up again
Hands that keep score
Circle the wall
And it's 2:04

Look up again
And the glass fills right up to the brim
Amid the din of midnight
Revels begin
It's light out

Unaware
As you're descending the stairs
Who in that room
Whispers the rumours of wild affairs

Look up again
As the car that you ride won't arrive
May won't regret December
You can't forget
There's nothing to remember
Oh, please
Look up again
Now and not then

Look up again
As the pen drinks the ink from the page
Those farewell lines will vanish
Who were they meant to punish?
Oh, please
Look up again

I can't go on pretending
Times at an end
Or is it never ending?
Oh, please
Look up again
Now and not when
Look up again
