Staying Up
Sleepless Confessions: Navigating Love's Midnight Maze
Lyrics
Late night, no dreamin'
Late at night, not dreaming
Worries replace all reason
Concerns and anxieties replace logical thinking
Lights off, no sleepin'
Turning off lights, unable to sleep
Phone's on, but never ringin'
Phone is on, but no calls are coming in
Feelin' restless and helpless
Feeling uneasy and without control
We both know what's coming our way
Both individuals are aware of an impending situation
But I know I won't be restin' till we say what we need to say
Restlessness persists until necessary conversations happen
You got me stayin' up
Being kept awake by thoughts or emotions
Starin' at the clock at my bedside
Staring at the bedside clock, realizing it's too late
The time is tellin' me that it's too late for us
Sensing a lack of time for resolution
Feelin' like the fan on my ceilin'
Feeling disoriented, like a spinning ceiling fan
My mind is spinnin'
Mind in turmoil
Tellin' me this isn't love
Doubting the authenticity of the love
I know that I can get a little paranoid
Acknowledging personal tendency toward paranoia
And that I'm in my head too much
Admitting to being overly introspective
But I don't think I made this up, so let's be honest
Insisting on honesty about the situation
'Cause I'm tired of stayin' up
Expressing exhaustion from staying awake
(Stayin' up)
Repeating the fatigue of staying up
I'm tired of stayin' up oh-uh
Continuing to express weariness
(Oh-uh)
Reiterating fatigue
Focus my breathin'
Focusing on controlled breathing
Try to slow my mind, but the thought of you leavin'
Attempting to calm the mind, but fear of separation lingers
Keeps me from fallin'
Struggling to avoid falling into emotional distress
Still there's no use in stallin'
Recognizing the futility of delay
Feelin' restless and helpless
Feeling restless and helpless once again
We both know what's coming our way
Both parties aware of an approaching confrontation
But I know I won't be restin' till we say what we need to say (We need to say yeah)
Commitment to addressing the necessary issues
You got me stayin' up (Oh-woah)
Continuing to be kept awake by emotions
Starin' at the clock at my bedside (Oh-uh)
Staring at the bedside clock, realizing the lateness
The time is tellin' me that it's too late for us
Sensing the time running out for resolution
Feelin' like the fan on my ceilin' (Ah-oh)
Feeling disoriented, like a spinning ceiling fan
My mind is spinnin'
Mind in turmoil
Tellin' me this isn't love
Doubting the authenticity of the love
I know that I can get a little paranoid
Acknowledging personal tendency toward paranoia
And that I'm in my head too much
Admitting to being overly introspective
But I don't think I made this up, so let's be honest
Insisting on honesty about the situation
'Cause I'm tired of stayin' up
Expressing exhaustion from staying awake
(Stayin' up)
Repeating the fatigue of staying up
I'm tired of stayin' up for you
Expressing weariness of staying up for the other person
(Stayin' up)
Reiterating fatigue
(Oh-ooh-uh-uh)
Additional vocalizations expressing tiredness
(I'm tired of stayin' up)
Reiteration of being tired of staying up
Oh-uh oh-uh oh-uh oh-uh
Continued vocal expressions of weariness
