Staying Up All Night
It started with intersection
Then progression
Of the world our same perception
Everything caused depression
You were the exception
No aggression
No possession
Each other’s protection
Between us this connection
A smile in your direction
A thumbs up
A high five for good luck
Staying up all night
To make things seem alright
I can only wish for that again
So until then
I’ll wait with a glass in my hand
Who knows if I’ll ever land
Through the glasses
I see the masses
The idle passes
None of them lasted
Get rid of this disease
I’m begging you please
The emotional detachment
From me you’re absent
Any interaction is a reenactment
Gone is the passion
The compassion
Away is your new fashion
Acting like it didn’t happen
I can’t take action
With you again I can only imagine
Staying up all night
To make things seem alright
I can only wish for that again
So until then
I’ll wait with a glass in my hand
Who knows if I’ll ever land
Who knows who knows
It just shows
As much as friendship grows
So also it can decompose
Talk about all time lows
Without you time slows
But that’s time I suppose
So here it goes
The drink flows
Throwing down pretty clothes
The pain comes in blows
Pain I won’t expose
Pain I enclose
Drown it in my woes
Long nights I won’t compose
I wish you were there for those
Staying up all night
To make things seem alright
I can only wish for that again
So until then
I’ll wait with a glass in my hand
Who knows if I’ll ever land
