Say It With The I

The leaves will all be gone when I get home
So I am counting on you to be the colors and the tones
I'm reading all your words from a thousand miles away
Trying to calm my nerves, trying not to make mistakes

There is no one, it seems
Nobody, not anything
A role you're not ready to play
I'm just wondering lately
If you think that I'll be
A reason you should stay awake

Have you not realized that I spend all my nights
Filled with endless conversations, too many 3 A.M.s and interstates?
But who's staying up, so that I sleep safely?
Based on all these bad dreams, there is no one, there is nothing

I've been all alone until now
Thinking of the things I know that I'm not allowed

There is no one, it seems
Nobody, not anything
A role you're not ready to play
I'm just wondering lately
If you think that I'll be
A reason you should stay awake

Don't have to deny myself anything
My efforts always find a way to do it
They find a way to do it for me

Don't have to deny myself anything
My efforts always find a way to do it
They find a way to do it for me

There is no one, it seems
Nobody, not anything
A role you're not ready to play
I'm just wondering lately
If you think that I'll be
A reason you should stay awake

There is no one, it seems
Nobody, not anything
A role you're not ready to play I'm just wondering lately
If you think that I'll be
A reason you should stay awake
