Nightshift - Open City

caught in the middle

of another sleepless night.

trying to wrap those words around my head

how I could I be so obtuse?

but if it’s finally over, will we actually admit it?

I know it’s been a while since we’ve felt this spark

I know you’re far from done

you know I’m far from here

can you finish what we started

or go back where we belong?

just look me in the eye and tell me where to go

planning my next move

means nothing to you

when you wander

in and out of the day

with no pattern

or restraint

we get sloppy as we age

if we don’t call for direction

set our sights and move with purpose

you know I’m far from done

I know you’re far from here

do we finish what we started?

I’m not even tired yet

I promised you I’d stay here until it ends

we never want to let it end

we could’ve fought for another win

we all are trying to stay here.

we’ll fight

we’ll come alive at night
