I’m wide awake

Just looking at you sleeping

And the voice in my head says

Why the fuck am I leaving

Cause everything I’ll ever want

Is right here with me

It’s 2am my head begins to fill

the night before I leave

This anxiety’s a pill

The hardest pain I ever swallowed

Is missing you babe

It’s all these fucking little things

Always feel different

When you do them apart

It’s the part that I hate the most

It’s always our last night together

When I remember

All the things that I take for granted

It’s the same alarm ringing

But this time it’s different

It’s only when I have to go

That I understand it

What I take for granted

And all I’ve learnt is how time is deceiving

The hours move like seconds just when I need them to

Slow down and hold on to you

And I keep close what you said to me

That night that we parked up and drunk rose by the sea out of plastic cups you said when you look the stars that you see are the same stars for me

And the little things pass my in an instance I love them but I don’t take them in ‘til they’re gone.
