Roses Are Red

So take the long way back home tonight.
Don't say a thing.
Stereo seventeen, red and green.
And everything I'm thinking is surfacing.
Night brings all the daydreams I can't share with you, my dear.
I'll stay awake just to know you're still here.
I can't sleep, your face turned from me.
I picture flashing lights above me.
I'm lost in your silhouette.
I see you standing in the window.
In the window looking west.
Tell me a thousand stories.
Say anything.
To see you in a magazine,
a movie screen is everything you dream and it's happening.
Night brings all the daydreams I can't share with you; my dear.
I'll stay awake just to know lyou're still here.
Your hands are on the back of my neck again.
Your eyes are in the air.
I will stay wide awake again tonight to know you're still here.
