My friend stays all night awake.
My friend stays all night standing up,
I can't see my friend during the day.
They fade away.
But they always come back.
As the ceiling drops on me the dark,
I look at my friend and they're looking back.
I put on some music.
That's the way we talk.
My friend stays all night vigilant
so I can sleep without a fright.
But I often wonder if my friend
is alright.
My friend stays all night by my side.
They kind of disappear when I turn on a light.
But I know they're still watching me
with their eyes open wide.
