It's how I've often felt when I find myself On nights like these, like Christmas Eve From an empty office window to the street outside It's everything not to call and find out why It's just a little thing buried in the other things Burning away from inside, would you stay with me tonight? And there's a quiet dream I'm not supposed to think Eating away at my mind, could you be with me tonight? On the cab ride you said nothing, just hair all in your face But I was scared to name it and nothing changed So I walked 'til I just couldn't, too late I understood It was always half-invented, but the other half was good It's just a little thing buried in the other things Burning away from inside, would you stay with me tonight? And there's a quiet dream I'm not supposed to think Eating away at my mind, could you be with me tonight? I know it's just a little thing buried in the other things Burning away from inside, would you stay with me tonight? And there's a quiet dream I'm not supposed to think Eating away at my mind, could you be with me tonight? It's just a little thing buried in the other things Burning away from inside, would you stay with me tonight? And there's a quiet dream I'm not supposed to think Eating away at my mind, could you be with me tonight?
