as we neared one in the morning
(two o'clock his time),
surprised that i was still awake
i told him a little lie

"i can't fall asleep"
was my cover story,
because i didn't wanna lose
the long awaited glory

it had been over a week
since we last conversed,
so when his name lit up my screen
across my face excitement burst

the truth is i was tired
i didn't plan on staying up late,
but oh how i had missed him
as he's home in another state

less than three weeks 'til i see
this new close friend of mine,
so if you hear "i can't fall asleep"
it's probably just a sign
