stayin' up late

i've been stayin' up late

just a thinkin' about

ways to get you off my mind

i keep wanderin' around

through all the lonely

parts of town

to try and see

if i might could ever find

one last hope

that i could cling to

in case i make the break through

and finally get you off my mind

i tried givin' up dreamin'

but your memory kept schemin'

and found all kinda ways

to sneak back into my sleep

i finally quit talkin' to strangers

out of fear there's always

the danger

they say hi

hello

or somethin' else

you might'a said to me

i've been stayin' up late

just a thinkin' about

ways to get you off my mind

i keep wanderin' around

through all the lonely

parts of town

to try and see if i might

could ever find

one last hope

that i could cling to

in case i make the break through

and finally get you off my mind

i swore to never

get caught looken

at a single picture

that was tookin'

of us or anywhere we ever went

or ever even seen

i don't dare watch the news

cause the wrecks

and the crashes

can remind me too

that i used to ride around

and go places

in cars with you

i've been stayin' up late

just a thinkin' about

ways to get you off my mind

i keep stayin' up late

just thinkin' about

ways to get you off my mind
