While I’m Lying Awake

While I’m lying awake my mind is travelling far
And I’m not afraid to stand my ground alone
In spite of the fearful shadows cast, it’s crystallized clear
The faint promise of eternity I’ll trade for a feel so near

She’s nothing that I deserve – I rather think I’ll take
My chances to leave a trail, a world away from this charade
Reaching for more than I’ve ever seen and more than I’ve ever been
lesson I’d gladly learn and truly I mean, I mean not to harm you

My heart’s growing more fearless with every day
Even if Heaven and Hell collide, just let the Earth remain

While I’m lying awake with thoughts so irresistible
So hard I’m trying to give you impressions of who I am
But words are not enough to express what I would do for you
If I had you here in my arms I would tear you right apart

And even in this room
Where commitment’s sometimes faltered
By a different attitude
I can feel your presence stronger
Than God’s and every saint’s
That’s why I’m lying
Lying awake

My heart’s growing more fearless with every day
Even if Heaven and Hell collide, just let the Earth remain
While I’m lying awake with thoughts so irresistible
So hard I’m trying to give you impressions of who I am
But words are not enough to express what I would do for you
If I had you here in my arms I would tear you right apart
