[Verse 1]
Late at night, I lie awake
And listen to the sound of dreams gone by, my lover's sigh
And brassy bouncy bands
Late at night, you're fast asleep
My secret words are born
The lies I tell, these lines I sell
And brassy bouncy bands

[Chorus]
My nights used to be so soft and so still
But now I'm awake and I can't ignore this thrill

[Verse 2]
Late at night, my mind is full
Of everything I hear
A violin that could've been
And brassy bouncy bands

[Chorus]
My nights used to be so soft and so still
But now I'm awake and I can't ignore this thrill

[Verse 3]
Late at night, I'm still awake
My song is getting old
You're still in dreams or so it seems
But brassy bouncy bands play on for me
