It's happening again
You've somehow traveled back into my mind
As I lay here sleepless
Staring at my vacant ceiling
Oblivious to everything but my thoughts
How you used to join me at this time
And hold me in the dark
After I would vigorously tickle you and tell you corny jokes
When you told it was hard to make you laugh
I'd explain how awful my day has been without you
And that you're the reason I know how to love
But that doesn't happen these nights anymore
And all that lingers here is faded memories
To keep me up through my endless night
