Your working day now complete

The world outside falls asleep, a cradle to the cold.

This situation tonight, I'm here, you're there,

It's not right, to have and not to hold.

The Nighshift lay before me.

The Nightshift make me stay away.

Just know that I would love to be, with you

But I can't do right now you see.

There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.

An invitation to spend

The evening out with my friends I regretfully decline.

The chance to lay down beside

My baby for the night I had to let slip by.

The Nighshift lay before me.

The Nightshift make me stay away.

Just know that I would love to be, with you

But I can't do right now you see.

There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.

I look around, I can't calm down

When there's so much to be done

So understand, it's who I am

The Nightshift is what I've become.

Just know that I would love to be, with you

I can't do right now you see.

There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.

When your down remember this

Close your eyes, make a wish cos it's my alibi.

When your lost remember this

Close your eyes and picture this,

Sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
