Too Many Reasons to leave. One Reason to stay. Life has many reasons. Love has one.
My head is clouds, trapped in books; reading words I wish were mine
maybe then I could inspire you to stay
Until then I'll sit here and
think up some meaning to all of this
while your hard at work.

It seems I speak my mind best when I'm fighting sleep
I can't wrap my head around it
Still, another restless night spent wondering
what I did to deserve this empty house

I need you in my bed tonight
if you can't make it then please
stay out of my head at night.

With you, there isn't anything I wouldn't do
There isn't anything I wouldn't give
to be where you are
I'm not sure how many goodbyes I have left in me.

I wake up every morning with your song in my head
and I'll live in that moment until you come back around

Save me some time, read my mind
I've given up on speaking for myself
it never comes out quite how I intend
And I know it will never happen quite how I had planned
My fear is not being able to accept it

I need you in my bed tonight
If you can't make it then please
Stay out of my head at night.
