So here I am-
it's four AM,
You're in your room alone,
and I'm on the couch again-
This can't be right.

If I had a brush right now,
I'd paint you all around me,
But all I've got is this black pen
and another water color dream.

Are you having sweet dreams-
the kind that sweet girls do?
Are you sitting wide awake,
thinking about me too?

If I had a brush right now-
I'd paint you all around me,
But all I've got is this black pen
and another water color dream.

Well, hey Laura what is it I should do?
You're all alone and I'm just dying to hold you,
but my heart is breakin'
and this pen is fadin'.
So I'll be far from here before you wake up
Before you wake-
I'll be far away from here
Before you-
Before you wake.
Before you wake.
