[Verse 1]
Darkness comes in like lightning
Daytime answers to midnight
Scared to death of the silence
Make last orders, hopes and kisses
Then you're on your own

[Verse 2]
Look for stars in the black sky
Who's feeling the same way?
Fill the blanks with distractions
Read a story, have some coffee
Bags under your eyes

[Chorus]
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun
Could stay awake all night

[Verse 3]
Move random but still here
Some returning to sleep fear
Limerick, Dublin or London
Twilight biding, eyelids fighting
Staring way up high

[Chorus]
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun
Could stay awake all night

[Bridge]
Stay awake
Go to bed when morning's broken
Stay awake
Watch the dark with me
Stay awake
Listening for any songbirds
Wait 'til dawn
Until you go to sleep

[Chorus]
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun
Could stay awake all night
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun
Could stay awake all night

[Outro]
I'm waiting for the day to rise
Could stay awake all night
