Well I never took a shortcut out   I don't know about you   And looking back is so damn hard   But I still manage to   And I'm quick to call you over   When I'd rather call you mine   So I'll meet you in the middle   I just a little time      These days are keeping me up at night   No way you're taking me down   Let's stay awake through the morning light   Let's leave this town      And you keep me for the lonely days   I swear to God it's true   I can't blame you 'cause I've done the same thing   Many times to you   There's a truth that we cannot deny   'Cause fate don't lie, my friend   You're the reason for my rise, my fall,   My beginning, and my end.      These days are keeping me up at night   No way you're taking me down   Let's stay awake through the morning light   Let's leave this town.
