So I stay awake writing in the absence of my sleep
I am one with the darkness on the outside walls
And I can hear the cars go by and the sirens make a noise
And I wonder who has died
I wonder who has died

And I am waiting for your call; I am standing on the wall
I am listening to everything and nothing at all
And I hear your voice now. It is beautiful and loud
Like a night owl waiting in the absence of my sleep
You want me to say that word
Oh, you want me to say that word

I apologize for last night I was absent and asleep
But we have a lot of time to talk what’s going on with you?
If you feel a little lonely come on get into my car
And we’ll listen to the songs that you don’t like, but God, I do!
