Late at night
Midnight movie
Got, no one to talk to, no one to see
And I am, counting stars 'cause I lie awake dear
I know you ain't far, I know you ain't here
With Me
So why do I get so lonely
When there really ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me
Can't sleep at all when you're gone
Yeah, and why do I stay out drinking
When I should just get back home
I guess the company with strangers
Is better than drinking alone
To tired to sing
Walking down the street and, still can't sleep
'Cause there's too many things
I got running around my head
Can't put my thoughts to rest
I think I'll wait outside the door
When you wake I will confess
So why do I get so lonely
When there really ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me
Can't sleep at all when you're gone
Yeah, and why do I stay out drinking
When I should just get back home
I guess the company with strangers
Is better than drinking alone
So why do I get so lonely
When there really ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me
Can't sleep at all when you're gone
Yeah, and why do I stay out drinking
When I should just get back home
I guess the company with strangers
Is better than drinking alone
Oh, why do I get so lonely
When there really ain't nothing wrong
Oh, why do I get so lonely
When there really ain't nothing wrong
Oh, why do I get so lonely
Yeah, there really ain't nothing wrong
Oh, why do I get so lonely
Yeah, When there really ain't nothing wrong
