C                          G
I got my reasons for the things I do
           Em            Dm              F
but I get lost in my defence when I am running after you
C                            G
There must be something in what you don't say
               Em                Dm                F
'cause I can't get past all the feelings that you left me with today

Chorus:
Am                     G
Please stay awake now, please stay awake now
Em         G              F
You are as closed as your eyes
Am                     G
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
Em         G              F
You are as closed as your eyes

You lock yourself up behind "I love you"
Is that the truth and what you feel or just convenient for you?
And when you tell them that you can't complain
Is that the state of our affairs? Is it November again?

Chorus:
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Just stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Just stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Just stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes

I'm like an enemy that you don't know
You keep me close, but in the distance, we look better off alone
Make me remember like I'm all brand new
Like when the world was out of focus and I'd end it on you
