So take the long way back home tonight.

Don't say a thing.

Stereo seventeen, red and green.

And everything I'm thinking is surfacing.

Night brings all the daydreams I can't share with you, my dear.

I'll stay awake just to know you're still here.

I can't sleep, your face turned from me.

I picture flashing lights above me.

I'm lost in your silhouette.

I see you standing in the window.

In the window looking west.

Tell me a thousand stories.

Say anything.

To see you in a magazine,

a movie screen is everything you dream and it's happening.

Night brings all the daydreams I can't share with you, my dear.

I'll stay awake just to know lyou're still here.

Your hands are on the back of my neck again.

Your eyes are in the air.

I will stay wide awake again tonight to know you're still here.
