I might a seem a little reticent
Sometimes I can be (miles away days away)
And I'm sorry if I'm ever short with you
I don't mean it It's a good job that you know me so well

You don't need (to worry to worry)
To worry about me
Not since you taught me to talk it all through
Who knew? Maybe I need just an hour of sleep
And you need that too
So I thought I'd stay awake 'til you feel better

I would rather stay awake
If that's the thing that I can do
I would rather watch you sleep
It's the very least

I have been (less than, less than easy)
Less than easy
Is this the flip side?
(Of trying to take, trying to take) responsiblity?
And I only ask because you should know all about it
And I've got a hunch that you know better

I would rather stay awake
If that's the thing that I can do
I would rather watch you sleep
It's the very least
