Birds from a thousand miles away
at a lonely time of day
leave it up to night to quietly remind us
Time though it mostly slips away
doesn't seem to mind the way
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 words that fall
I wait for you to dream
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
at a lonely time of day
leave it up to night to quietly remind us
Time though it mostly slips away
doesn't seem to mind the way
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 words that fall
I wait for you to dream
I sing so you might hear these words

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
