You know I'd do anything

To see you smile again

Would you still be happy to see me?

And it's been a long night

And I'm losing sight

Of who I want to be

 

And I'm lying awake at night again

And I shiver and shake

Because you're not next to me

 

And now the night grows older

But the sun won't rise

Not until I see you're face

Now come a little closer

Let the stars shine

So that we can take their place

Stay here tonight, we don't need the day

 

They are all the same

They want but never dream

They don't know passion; they could never understand

We jump in the fire

'Cause we wanna feel alive now

this fantasy, it's our reality

 

And I'm lying awake at night again

And I shiver and shake

Because you're not next to me

 

And now the night grows older

But the sun won't rise

Not until I see you're face

Now come a little closer

Let the stars shine

So that we can take their place

Stay here tonight, we don't need the day

 

But the night's getting colder

But you make me feel warm now

Let the moon shine like a star

And the sky's turning red

Because there's nothing left unsaid

I don't want anything to change who we are

 

And now the night grows older

But the sun won't rise

Not until I see you're face

Now come a little closer

Let the stars shine

So that we can take their place

 

And now the night grows older

But the sun won't rise

Not until I see you're face

Now come a little closer

Let the stars shine

So that we can take their place

Stay here tonight, we don't need the day

 

Stay here tonight, we don't need the day

This is one of the most passionate songs I've ever written. It came to me during a time when my mind was a battle between my love for my s/o and my depression.
