[Verse 1]
Busy fear is wrestlin’
Like insects in the weeds
We are busy watching
And fall down from the trees

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You go to Memphis
And we will watch you leave
Settle quiet on the freeway
And we no longer see
You drive away
Drive away

[Chorus]
I’ll be wide awake
Thinkin’ ‘bout all of the good times gone away
You’ll be wide awake
Thinkin’ ‘bout all of the damn good reasons why you just can’t stay
Why you just can’t stay

[Verse 2]
Maybe I’m just feeling
Impatient once again
Like all this celebration
Is for your new life to begin
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And if we keep on staying
Just kick ours down the road
Day-drinking in the sunshine
And how victorious we’ll be
When we drive away
Drive away

[Chorus]
I’ll be wide awake
Thinkin’ ‘bout all of the good times gone away
You’ll be wide awake
Thinkin’ ‘bout all of the damn good reasons why you just can’t stay
Why you just can’t stay

I’ll be wide awake
Thinkin’ ‘bout all of the good times gone away
You’ll be wide awake
Thinkin’ ‘bout all of the damn good reasons
All the damn good reasons that you just can’t stay
