[Intro — electric piano, distant room tone] Still awake... Yeah. [Verse 1] Half past two and the room feels smaller Phone face-down but I still hear it calling Didn't say much when you walked through the door Funny how silence can sound like a war You ask if I'm good I say, "Yeah, just tired" Same little answer I've used for a while Truth is I'm somewhere between here and gone Trying to work out what I've been holding on [Pre-Hook] Don't turn the light on I don't wanna see Every little thing I've been hiding from me Just stay for a minute Don't make it profound Sometimes I just need someone else in the room [Hook — FIRST RELEASE] I'm half awake half of me dreaming Half of me knows exactly what I'm feeling Say I'm okay like I almost believe it Stay till the morning give me one good reason Not to disappear inside my head again Not to make an enemy out of every friend I'm half awake but if you're still here Maybe I can sleep tonight [Instrumental space — Rhodes and muted guitar] [Verse 2] I know I've been hard to get close to lately Laugh at the wrong time say nothing when you ask me Keep all the heavy right under my tongue Like saying it clearly means something has won And you don't push you just sit on the floor Back to the bed with your coat by the door That's when it hits me how tired I've become Running from feelings that already know where I'm from [Percussion deepens — sub moves forward] I don't need saving don't need a grand plan Just need a moment where I don't have to pretend You say, "Take your time" So I do. [Bridge — dry close vocal, piano only] Maybe the night was never the problem Maybe I filled it with everything unsaid Maybe the quiet isn't here to hurt me Maybe it's somewhere I can finally rest [Brief electric-piano solo] [Final Hook — SECOND / FINAL RELEASE] I'm half awake half of me dreaming Half of me knows exactly what I'm feeling Don't say I'm okay if I don't really mean it Stay till the morning that's already a reason Not to disappear inside my head again Not to make an enemy out of every friend I'm half awake and you're still here Maybe I can sleep tonight [Drums drop out] [Outro — fragile] Don't turn the light on... Just stay. [FINAL — NO REPEAT — HARD STOP]
