If you gotta go, then go 

It wouldn't bother me if you never leave 

We're both kind of tired I know 

And my heart beats low... 



I wanna tell you all my stories but I can't get started 

Cause I'm too scared that any moment 

I'll be broken hearted 

I couldn't face another morning waking up alone 

So I'll reach out and try to grab you in the dark

But you already know it's me

And I've been up late, lately 

Been staying up late, lately 



Even the city's asleep tonight 

And it feels like we're the only two people in the world awake 

And in the blue TV light 

You'll ignore the excuses that I make 

They're all bullshit anyway 





Somehow you've gotten in my world of dreams and surreal colors

But if I close my eyes you'll disappear like all the others

And I've forgotton all the stupid things I used to say 

And I still feel like I should want to run away

But there's nowhere I'd rather be 

Than staying up late, lately 

up Late, Lately 





Spent so much time tossing and turning endlessly 

So I didn't realize how peaceful love could be 





So if you gotta leave then leave 

But I really hope you'll stay 

You put all my ghosts to sleep

And they've been up so damn late 

Keeping me up late, lately 

Keeping me up late, lately
