You’re What Keeps Me Up Now

[Verse]
How long have I been asleep?
Were we dreaming when the river ran a moat to surround me?
Or did you wake up by my side and slip out through the floodgates to the highway?
All the while, soft as a mouse
I'm just sure you meant to call me by now
And the weather's got the phone lines
And my spirit on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Silly woman, you better wise up, hell
You know the dance by now
Why not ever in time to save yourself and—

[Chorus]
You, you're what keeps me up now
You, you're what keeps me up now
Maybe I'd write a song about you if I had any clue what you're about

[Bridge]
Eighteen and selfish, lovesick and alone
Go figure it was time to grow myself a backbone
I had heard you made it to a better music town
Pretty sure you'll love somebody 'til you say she holds you down and—

[Chorus]
You, you're what keeps me up now
You, you're what keeps me up now
Maybe I'd write a song about you if I had any clue what you're about

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
You, you're what keeps me up now
You, you're what keeps me up now
You, you're what keeps me up now
You, you're what keeps me up now
