I've written lots and lots of songs about being up late, alone with myself—I did one just a few weeks ago, in fact. This one is is a bit of a role reversal, however. It's been midterms in Rebecca's law program, which means she's been burning the candle at both ends. I've been going to bed by myself a lot of nights. This has been a regular thing since she started school, but it it's not something I had ever had to get used to since we got together. This song is about drifting off while she's out there doing what needs to be done. It's a song about a new normal.
lyrics
Stay up late at night
You've got 'til the morning
Join me when you're able
I'll be here
Stay up late at night
You've got 'til the morning
Join me when you're able
I'll be here
