It takes up my life   And it brings us closer   Well I wake up at night   Just to think it over   And I write it all down    Cuz I think I’m ready   But I’m not sure I’m sure   If I’m still on maybe   In the back of my mind   Wonder if it’s worth it   And I laugh to myself   Cuz of course it’s worth it   With the small city lights   Slightly losing shimmer   And my dreams and my nights   Holding hands with the light from the sun      It’s a brighter feeling   Going home with you   And wasting all this time together   It’s a lighter feeling   Keeping up with you   And wasting all our lives together      I’m taking my time   But I’m not so careful   And I’m testing my mind   To be sure I’m able   And I’m staying on top   With the nights so sleepless   But it’s something I love   And I swear I’ll keep this   As I fight for my life   Exercising patience   While I stand here alone   Exercising patience   Cuz I can’t give it up   I’m in way too deep now   Rather be here with you   Waking up to the light from the sun      It’s a brighter feeling   Going home with you   And wasting all this time together   It’s a lighter feeling   Keeping up with you   And wasting all our lives together      As I fight for my life   Exercising patience   While I stand here alone   Exercising patience   Cuz I can’t give it up   I’m in way too deep now   Rather be here with you   Waking up to the light from the sun      It’s a brighter feeling   Going home with you   And wasting all this time together   It’s a lighter feeling   Keeping up with you   And wasting all our lives together
