歌詞

Cold drink sitting by the screen

One more line I can’t get right

Closed the file, then opened it

Like I do most every night

Nearly left the room for bed

Then I saw across the street

One small window holding on

Somebody still in their seat

I don’t know your name

Don’t know what you’re trying to do

But your light’s still on

So mine can stay on too

Maybe we’re awake

For reasons we don’t have to share

Maybe you’re still trying

With nobody watching there

Different rooms

Different lives

Same clock moving through

Your light’s still on

So mine can stay on too

Your shadow passes through the blinds

Then settles by the desk again

I can’t tell what keeps you there

Or how long your night has been

You lean back and leave the frame

Then return a minute later

I don’t need to know the reason

I just know you’re still there

You don’t know my name

Don’t know what I’m trying to do

But your light’s still on

So mine can stay on too

Maybe we’re awake

For reasons we don’t have to share

Maybe you’re still trying

With nobody watching there

Different rooms

Different lives

Same clock moving through

Your light’s still on

So mine can stay on too

We may never meet

You may turn it off at two

Still, for one more minute

I can keep mine burning too

Maybe we’re awake

For something neither one can prove

Maybe unfinished

Is enough for tonight

Different rooms

Different lives

Same dark moving through

Your light’s still on

So mine can stay on too
