Lyrics

[00:10.16] Your working day now complete
[00:12.84] The world outside falls asleep, a cradle to the cold.
[00:20.94] This situation tonight, I'm here, you're there,
[00:24.87] It's not right, to have and not to hold.
[00:30.56]
[00:33.39] The Nighshift lay before me.
[00:38.88] The Nightshift make me stay away.
[00:42.94]
[00:44.08] Just know that I would love to be, with you
[00:49.34] But I can't do right now you see.
[00:54.58] There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.
[01:01.75]
[01:03.11] An invitation to spend
[01:05.63] The evening out with my friends I regretfully decline.
[01:13.65] The chance to lay down beside
[01:16.13] My baby for the night I had to let slip by.
[01:23.69]
[01:26.24] The Nighshift lay before me.
[01:31.55] The Nightshift make me stay away.
[01:35.59]
[01:36.73] Just know that I would love to be, with you
[01:41.94] But I can't do right now you see.
[01:47.17] There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.
[01:55.31]
[02:00.24] I look around, I can't calm down
[02:05.59] When there's so much to be done
[02:10.72] So understand, it's who I am
[02:16.29] The Nightshift is what I've become.
[02:21.97]
[02:34.89] Just know that I would love to be, with you
[02:40.13] I can't do right now you see.
[02:45.33] There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.
[02:53.47]
[03:27.02] When your down remember this
[03:29.61] Close your eyes, make a wish cos it's my alibi.
[03:37.56] When your lost remember this
[03:40.11] Close your eyes and picture this,
[03:43.89] Sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
[03:53.19]
