That means she's gone to sleep
I'm gonna fall out of bed
If she keeps on pushing me

And as I lie here wide awake at midnight

And next door with his drum machine

She's in my territory
I welcome the invading leg

And when I finally manage opening my eyes
There's nowhere else I'd rather being
Being the first today to look at her smile
Because she's next to me
