Lyrics
It's about time you made a choice
Of when you're coming over
I asked you a long time ago
But still there's no word
Of when you'll leave your friends for me
In the itinerary
There's a thousand places we could be (One thousand places we could be)
Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France (Paris, France)
Or Columbus, Ohio
Australia, London, Tokyo
But still, you say no
I don't care, but need to know
When you'll join me out on the road
What will it take for you to go?
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
(You're not trying)
It's about time you came to me (It's about time you came to me)
I'm always flying to you
One last shot I can try to do
Out of desperation
Send an airline ticket to your home (To your home, to your mama and papa)
But you probably won't show
Waiting at JFK with little hope (Now you know it)
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake (Try, try to stay awake)
Try, try to stay awake (Try, try to stay awake)
Try, try to stay awake (Try, try to stay awake)
But, you just keep sleeping
Keep sleeping
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Or you'll just keep sleeping
