midnight serenade

words, from a thousand miles away, at a lonely time of day, leave it up to the night to quietly remind us, time, though it mostly slips away, doesn't seem to mind the wait, it's a midnight serenade, do you feel the same as i do, close your eyes, think of what you have beside you, even i, understand the reasons why you stay, oh i am stuck in someone else's shoes, an unfamiliar view, but i promise not to do the things they do, oh i would never make you choose, i have so much less to lose, there's a world between these words and how we use them, so don't confuse them, close your eyes, think of what you have beside you, even i, understand the reasons why you stay, i hide behind the waterfall, i wait for you to drink, i sing so you might hear these words, but sadly so might she, she knows you disappear sometimes, but knows that you will stay, and so i end this story with, one last serenade, close your eyes, think of what you have beside you, even i, understand the reasons why you stay
