Night Owl

I can't remember last night I drank my fill of red wine You left me to my own mind And that's not a place I like to find I should have stayed ahead but I was just too far behind I see you in the moonlight The hours before sunrise I'm living out a half-life Where nothing comes as a surprise And every grace I stack, well it just gets blown aside I couldn't make the words rhyme And I never picked the right time I tried to take what's inside And leave it somewhere you could find I never took a chance but that could all turn round tonight I called upon you late night When everything is alright You keep your heart locked up tight Well that's just the kind of game I like You said it was a joke but there'll be no laughing Tonight
