Lyrics
There's a light on the ceiling, and I'm asking you to turn it out,
Expressing a desire for a change or shift in the current situation, possibly seeking a different perspective.
So it feels like I'm dreaming, like I'm dreaming.
Wishing for an experience that feels surreal, like a dream.
I fall asleep to your breathing, then I wake up fifty years from now,
Describing a deep connection with someone, falling asleep and imagining a long future together.
And time is running out.
Suggesting a sense of urgency or the awareness of limited time.
So lie here, close to me, cos your heart is all I'll ever know.
Emphasizing the significance of the partner's heart as the central and essential element known to the speaker.
It's all I'll ever know.
Reiterating the importance of the partner's heart in the speaker's understanding of them.
Stay awake with me now, stay awake with me now,
Inviting the partner to stay awake together, expressing a desire for shared time and connection.
I've got nothing but time love, so don't close your eyes love,
Conveying the speaker's openness to spending time and not wanting the partner to close their eyes.
Stay awake with me now, cos I can't live without,
Highlighting the speaker's dependence on the partner for emotional sustenance and well-being.
Stay awake with me now, stay awake with me now.
Repeating the plea for the partner to stay awake, reinforcing the importance of their presence.
There's a light on the ceiling, and I'm hoping they don't turn it out,
Expressing a fear or concern about an external force (symbolized by the light) disrupting the connection.
I promise I'm not leaving, I'm never leaving,
Assuring the partner of commitment and a promise not to leave despite external circumstances.
I wanna tell you how I'm feeling, my words are stolen by the hands of time,
Desiring to communicate feelings but feeling hindered by the passing of time.
So I can't say goodbye.
Expressing difficulty in saying goodbye due to the constraints imposed by time.
Stay awake with me now, stay awake with me now,
Repeating the request for the partner to stay awake, emphasizing the importance of shared time.
I've got nothing but time love, so don't close your eyes love,
Reiterating the speaker's availability and the desire for the partner to keep their eyes open.
Stay awake with me now, cos I can't live without,
Stressing the speaker's inability to live without the partner's presence.
Stay awake with me now, stay awake with me now.
Repeating the plea for the partner to stay awake, reinforcing the critical nature of their connection.
I lie here peacefully, cos I know your choices were your own.
Expressing a sense of peace, understanding, and acceptance of the partner's choices and individuality.
Stay awake with me now, stay awake with me now,
Reiterating the invitation to stay awake together, emphasizing the value of shared time and experience.
I've got nothing but time love, so don't close your eyes love,
Emphasizing the speaker's availability and the importance of the partner not closing their eyes.
Stay awake with me now, cos I can't live without,
Highlighting the speaker's emotional dependence on the partner and the difficulty of living without them.
Stay awake with me now, stay awake with me now.
Repeating the plea for the partner to stay awake, underlining the essential nature of their togetherness.
