  • I usually don't stay up too late
    Washed up and in bed by eight
    But tonight had its own set of plans

    The fight to stay awake has entered my mind
    Small talk with bags on my eyes
    Your roommates I can't understand

    Tell me 'bout your mother
    Do you have a brother?
    You smile, say yes

    What's your favorite color?
    Falling for each other
    And we ain't even met

    I've only known your name for a week
    But now I know your insecurities
    And in a month you'll be telling me you love me
    Through a screen

    The night has slowly reached the end of its life
    Close my eyes and tell you goodnight
    But I don't mind

    'Cause tomorrow I'll be ringing
    Ask what you were dreaming
    Hoping it was me

    Tell me what's your secret
    Do you believe in love 'cause it seems

    I've only known your name for a week
    And now I know that I'm falling for you
    Tell me how can that be
    Through a screen

    'Cause tomorrow I'll be ringing
    Ask what you were dreaming
    Hoping it was me

    Tell me what's your secret
    Do you believe in love 'cause it seems

    I've only known your name for a week
    And now I know that I'm falling for you
    Tell me how can that be
    How can that be
    Tell me how can it be
    Through a screen

    Who knows where this leads
    I can't make you any guarantees
    All I can say
    Is I'll be there when you decide
    To call my name Writer/s: Ty Wenston Myers
