If I wasn't awake, I'd be dreaming

I took too many pills to be sleeping

And the memory of you keeps on creeping

Up my slippery spine all this evening

Take my hand in your hand like we're walking

On the pebbly sand and we're talking

Drive me up to the coast, lay my seat back

But I'm just in the room with the lights on

Oh oh ooh oh ooh oh

Every minute passes like an hour

When I'm just in the room with the lights on

And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

All that keeps me awake is the lights on

And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

The first line of the night cuts the deepest

Then I'm struggling keep my secrets

As we order the drink that's the cheapest

If I lend you my kiss, please don't keep it

Oh oh ooh oh ooh oh

Every minute passes like an hour

When I'm just in the room with the lights on

And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

All that keeps me awake is the lights on

And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

Keep the lights on for my sake

Keep the lights on for my sake

Close my eyes I see your face

Close my eyes I see your face

I just keep myself awake

I just keep myself awake

I don't want to feel this way

I don't want to feel this

Just in the room with the lights on

And there's no one who knows I'm their icon

All that keeps me awake is the last line

And there's no one who knows I'm their icon
