It’s 4 am but I’m not sleepy, My mind keeps running back to you. Well I just left you and I already miss you...Do I keep you up to?

1. Matt Skiba - Demons Away



I know you're alone
In the dark, all alone
Underneath the covers
Hiding from the demons
That came for your soul.

They might be over in the closet
They might be underneath your bed
They might be just outside your window, baby
Or maybe just inside your head.

But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.

I know that you're scared
You're in the dark, so scared
Simply terrified, no one'll hear you screaming
If they could would they care?

There's only one way to find out
I pray that day never comes
For that would mean the ending of you, baby
The end of you, my love.

But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.

And baby, I can tell you've been crying
Oh baby, I know you've been lying to me
Yes indeed.
Oh baby, I can tell you don't sleep no more
Oh baby, believe me I've been there before.

If you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.



2. Tuesday - Too Much of Today



So now you’ve gone and stole my heart
Well all my friends are wondering
What’s happened to me
But I’m sure they’ll understand
When they see your eyes look up at me
There’s something about the way you looked at me
When you said you had to go away
I knew in my heart that everything was going to be ok

And I don’t think of anyone
Anyone but you, when you’re not around
It’s 4 am but I’m not sleepy
My mind keeps running back to you
Well I just left you and I already miss you
Do I keep you up to

I just can’t stop thinking about all those times we waste away
Cause I never felt so good as I did when I left your house that day
And now there’s so much that get’s in our way
And I just want you know, that I still love you just the same

And I don’t think of anyone
Anyone but you, when you’re not around
It’s 4 am but I’m not sleepy
My mind keeps running back to you
Well I just left you and I already miss you
Do I keep you up to

Do I keep you up to
(Do I keep you up to)
Do I keep you up to
(Do I keep you up to)
Do I keep you
Do I keep you up to




3. The Weakerthans - Aside



Measure me in metered lines
And one decisive stare
The time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t-shirts
And these shoes I got for free
I'm unconsoled
I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be
Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy
In love with love and lousy poetry
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay
Circumnavigate this body
Of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure
And amateur cartography
I breath in deep before
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving with goodbye
And I'm losing but I'll try
With the last ways left
To remember sing
My imperfect offering
