You might be sleeping
It's the middle of the night
I'm somewhere else
with the sleep that I fight
Nothing will be as romantic as it seems
If I close my eyes and succumb to my dreams
If I close my eyes
and imagine for a while
that my love could ever
reflect in your smile
Waking might not be another sad cruelty
Waking next to you could be my new reality
We are under stars
in the middle of the night
I want to be near you
with all my might
I want to feel love
I want to do right
I want to see stars
I want to see light
I feel that anxiety
of having just met
I wonder if you're wondering
what to expect
While trying to think of conversation subjects
We try to express the hearts we're trying to protect
We try to eclipse
the hurt from before
by trying to imagine lives
filled with more
We don't want this glow to end in dismay
and we have to live with other things in our day
but we are under stars
in the middle of the night
I want to be near you
with all my might
I want to feel love
I want to do right
I want to see stars
I want to see light
I might not be the one,
and it breaks my heart
That's a possibility
that I knew from the start
You might not be everything that I need
But you might be, and I will concede
in sharing the love
that you have for you
In sharing my love
of my life with us, too
But if we don't fall and love never arrives
I'll love you in heartache, in separate lives
and we are under stars
in the middle of the night
I want to be near you
with all my might
I want to feel love
I want to do right
I want to see stars
I want to see light
