It's how I've often felt
When I find myself on nights like these,
Like Christmas Eve
From the empty office window
To the street outside
It's everything not to call
And find out why

It just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Could you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
How am I 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
Could you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
How am I 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
Could you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
How am I 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
Could you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
How am I supposed to think
Eating away at my mind
Could you be with me tonight?
