I've stayed up late way past my bed time
Can't wait, was meant to be asleep by half 9
Counting sheep, the shepherds gonna have to wait
I'll count the flock another day,tonight I've got a date
Maybe she's a caterpillar maybe she's a butterfly or maybe she's a rainbow
Blue dress? Red wings? Green eyes? Or purple cornrows
Is she old, young, middled-aged, does she even have a name though
Keep my hand squeezing under my pillow
Been waiting weeks now ever since it first came loose
Tonight's the night there's no excuse
I hear her tip toes on the roof
Eye's drifting close, but I need the proof
Wake up in the morning
I have to start again
Rock has turned to gold
But I don't even know her name
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
Every time this happens find I'm asking the same questions
How much dough to leave? What if he sees me? Am I totally deceptive
I know it's wrong to throw them in the bin
But it feels more wrong to collect them
When I first saw your gorgeous face
I knew I would plead the fifth, preserve the myth
Now as I'm about to go up I fear that you're about to grow up
Wait why are you awake, it's late, I'm gonna have to sit outside and wait
2am my God is that boy serious
Hang on, I think I can hear in his room
The sound of gentle sleepy breathing
Think it's time to sneak in on the sly
A milky white lie, under the pillow I slide
Make the swap, tip toe back across the floor
Gently close the door
Wake up in the - I have to start again
Bone has turned to - but I don't even know her name
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
How'd I let her get away, I'll have to try another day
Every time this happens find I'm asking the same questions
