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.
