Up Too Late for You

Baby, I'm up too late for you

You got a garden, got a gym bag, got a plan
You fold your laundry and you shake a stranger's hand
I got a guitar and a bill I'm gonna pay
Sometime next week if the weather holds, I'd say
You got a planner with the colors on the tabs
I got a napkin with a number and some cash
You say good morning like you really mean it, too
I say good morning like it's something I don't do
You're in the choir and I'm out behind the church
Smoking with the drummer, waiting on the curse

And you keep asking me to stay
Well, I'd ruin your day
You keep asking me to change
Well, I'd ruin your day

You go to bed at ten, I'm just starting my night
You drink your coffee black, I take mine with a fight
You're the sun on the floor, I'm the smoke by the pool
Baby, I'm up too late for you

Up too late, up too late
Honey, I'm up too late
Up too late for you

Your mama likes me, but your mama doesn't know
What time I get in or how the evenings go
You'd make me better and I'd make you tired
I'd put the candle out and you'd light up the fire
You'd buy the vitamins and leave 'em on the shelf
I'd take the whiskey and I'd sit here by myself
You'd say "come to bed," I'd say "give me an hour"
And that hour turns to four and then the flowers die
I'm not the kind of man that you should bring on home
I'm the kind you think about when you're alone

And you keep asking me to stay
Well, I'd ruin your day
You keep asking me to change
Well, I'd ruin your day

You go to bed at ten, I'm just starting my night
You drink your coffee black, I take mine with a fight
You're the sun on the floor, I'm the smoke by the pool
Baby, I'm up too late for you

And the clock says two
And the clock says three
And you're dreaming of someone
Who's nothing like me
And the clock says four
Go on, sleep on me

You go to bed at ten, I'm just starting my night
You drink your coffee black, I take mine with a fight
You're the sun on the floor, I'm the smoke by the pool
Baby, I'm up too late for you

Up too late, up too late
Honey, I'm up too late
Up too late for you
