It's way past her bedtime but Louisa is still wide awake
Thinking of tomorrow cos today can wait
She'd like to catch the sunrise but she thinks it might be late
As the night plays its tricks but she knows her concerns are fake
And I've got the late night blues again
Her world is silent and the stillness is too hard to take
The clouds inside her mind she can't seem to shake
She knows the more she tries the more she'll make
Her thoughts keep her up until the morning breaks
And I've got the late night blues again
She waits for the moment as she feels the passing of time
Watching the ceiling while visions conquer her mind
She finds it strange how at night she can't unwind
While she spends her days feeling sleep deprived
And I've got the late night blues again
It's starting to lighten and Louisa has given up
Trying to sleep as she flicks through her books
She pays no mind to the number the clock has struck
But attempts to move the needle where her record's stuck
And I've got the late night blues again
