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
