[Intro — Ayoa, Female] Mm-mm The whole island’s sleeping But you keep me awake [Verse 1 — Ayoa, Female] Moonlight through the window Your shadow in my mind I close my eyes to lose you But you move behind my eyes Every word you didn’t tell me Every touch you almost made Gets louder in the silence And it keeps me awake [Pre-Chorus — Ayoa, Female] I hear the ocean breathing Feel the fire in the air I tell myself it’s nothing Then I turn and wish you’re there [Chorus — Both] Keep me awake, awake Don’t let the silence have its way Stay with me until the morning comes Even if we never say What we’re both too scared to name Let the moonlight hold the space If this fire is all we have tonight Then baby, keep me awake [Verse 2 — Kaelo, Male] Mi hear your footsteps in the dark Though you hardly make a sound I pretend I’m watching starlight But I feel you turn around There are words behind my breathing There is truth I never say And the closer you move toward me Girl, the farther sleep gets away [Pre-Chorus — Kaelo, Male] I feel the ocean breathing See the fire in your eyes If I cross the space between us I don’t know what we might find [Chorus — Both] Keep me awake, awake Don’t let the silence have its way Stay with me until the morning comes Even if we never say What we’re both too scared to name Let the moonlight hold the space If this fire is all we have tonight Then baby, keep me awake [Post-Chorus — Both] Awake, awake You keep me, keep me Awake, awake Till the night fades away [Bridge — Both] Maybe morning changes everything Maybe daylight makes us hide But tonight there are no mirrors Only truth we can’t disguise We don’t have to call it forever We don’t have to make it fate Just don’t leave me with this silence Stay and keep me awake [Final Chorus — Both] Keep me awake, awake Don’t let the silence have its way Stay with me until the morning comes Even if we never say What we’re both too scared to name Let the moonlight hold the space If this fire is all we have tonight Then baby, keep me awake Keep me awake, awake Even when the stars begin to fade I don’t need to know what comes tomorrow I just need you here today What we’re both too scared to name Is already written on your face If this fire is all we have tonight Then baby, keep me awake [Outro — Both] The whole island’s sleeping But we’re wide awake Stay until the stars are gone Keep me awake Keep me awake Keep me awake [outro piano] [outro whisper] Ben, Ben, Bennie pon di riddim Mmmmhhhh.....
