I don’t want to go to sleep;

And wake up tomorrow another day older,

Feel my soul

Another day colder;

 

If I could talk all night

With you

And watch the second hand slow,

Catch the moment between two heartbeats

And freeze;

 

I would live forever between two saccades

And not fall asleep.

 

And not wake up.
