Up All Night

(album: New Normal - 2019)

And I stayed up all night
Just to watch the sunrise with you
Them colours looked so bright, yeah
When I seen 'em shining through

And I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night
I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night
And I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night
And I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night

Washed up on an island, yeah
Looking back at Manhattan, yeah
Made a wish upon a park bench
In a place where anything can happen
Now I'm in my own timezone
Half a world away from my home
Sailed out on a low tide
But I always held on to my high hopes
Even when the waves were crashing down
Wasn't sure if I would make it out
But a new dawn is breaking now, and I gotta just breathe
For the first time in a long time
A sigh of relief
'Cause I'm finally free

And I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night
I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night

I've been tryna catch a break
I've been searching for a way out
I'm just tryna ride the wave
Until I wash up on the shore
Exactly where I can't be sure
I been tryna catch a

Break, and right then it hit me
Eyes wide at the skyline of the city
In a place that they say never sleeps
That everything I'm saying is the same for the stranger next to me
One of many in the belly of the beast
Getting by with the beggars and the thieves
Pixelated like a television screen
Looking for serenity in between
All the skyscrapers, forty storeys
In every window, a new story
All the pain, and all the glory
And I'll never know them all
And all the same, it's dawning on me now
As I stare out at this view
I got a phone call to make, 'cause I wanna share this with you
And that's why

And I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night
I stayed up, I stayed up
I stayed up, I stayed up
All night

I've been tryna catch a break
I've been searching for a way out
I'm just tryna ride the wave
Until I wash up on the shore
Exactly where I can't be sure
I've been tryna catch a break
Feel it coming any day now
Let it carry me away
Until I wash up on the shore
Nothing less and nothing more

I got that weight up off my back
There ain't no way I'm going back
I got that weight up off my back
And here I go again
I got that weight up off my back
There ain't no way I'm going back
I got that weight up off my back
And here I go again
And I stayed up all night, yeah
Just to watch the sunrise with you
