I closed my eyes and woke up here
The night descends and disappears, I breathe again
But I know I owe you more
Because some pain never sinks in
But gathers like a wind and blows the house away
From the chimney to the floor
On the drive home I lost my way
Called to say I’d be late
And I know you have a dad who drinks as much as I do
And I’m sorry that I let you down
I’m sorry if I caused you any pain
I love you like the sun shines
And yeah, it hurts but sometimes that’s the way it goes
They call it ebb and flow
And you call me your night owl
Gone before the light’s out
Always waxing and a‘ waning
Like the moon I’ve come to know
On the drive home I lost my way
Called to say I’d be late
And I know you had a childhood that took as much as I could
And I’m sorry that I let you down
I’m sorry
I’ve been driving for miles now
I’m your night owl like you say
I get so lost in this wild town
I’m your night owl, you’re my day
On the drive home I lost my way
Called to say I’d be late
And I know you have a life now and it’s got no room for night owls
And I’m sorry that I let you down
And I’m sorry if I caused you any pain.
