The Hungerford footpath is empty and the London Eye's at a stop
The trains have stopped running, the city is sleeping, but clearly I'm not
I walk one foot in front of the other, wondering what else I can discover
Things I've never seen before and places that I've been before
Till I can close my eyes and safely sleep
I'm stuck, but I'm free

The 1:30 rain is insistent as I make my way through the lights
I eavesdrop on the first stranger that I see to make sure that I don't get in a fight
I'm finding a destination close to the vital train station
Places that I've walked through in a lens that feels so brand new
Till I can close my eyes and safely sleep
I'm stuck, but I'm free

There's something so liberating about how truly empty it is
I watch the world change as the backdrop remains and no one notices

First train is at eight in the morning, but it's no big deal if I oversleep
I'm donning a towel and resting my legs so that I can just be
One second passes swiftly, I yawn, wondering quickly
What else will the world do when my eyes are shut
Now that I can finally safely sleep
I'm feeling so free
