Don't Fall Asleep...

 

We wandered off like children in the woods

And let the searchers come but never find us

Tried to make a life among the trees

While your dreams collected planes and cars and cities

You slipped away from me while I was sleeping

To climb the tallest oak and see the lights

Your dissatisfaction gave you questions

Do you remember what the city sounded like?

Do you remember what the city sounded like?

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep

Because we only have this moment once in our lives

The next time we'll meet under city lights

But we're here tonight, so let's make it all it was meant to be

So I held you but the cold was from inside

And I knew I couldn't keep you if I tried

But I watched as the distance spread, as the shadows grew

And the longings came like wolves to devour you

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep

Because we only have this moment once in our lives

The next time we'll meet under city lights

But we're here tonight, so let's make it all it was meant to be

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep

Because we only have this moment once in our lives

The next time we'll meet under city lights

But we're here tonight

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep

Because we only have this moment once in our lives

The next time we'll meet under city lights

But we're here tonight, so let's make it all it was meant to be

Let's make it all it was meant to be

Let's make it all it was meant to be
