Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again.
|
I guess that makes this the seventh time this week.
|
There's some words in my head that could keep me from dying.
|
Are you handling this any better than I am?
|
If I keep it together would you promise to keep us together?
|
|
Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
|
But please don't lose your tongue.
|
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
|
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs.
|
And when you're finally able to fall asleep,
|
Though, the sun might disagree,
|
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
|
'Til you wake up to me.
|
|
How's it happen that I get to have you for so long?
|
But then your just ripped away from me as I get tossed out to the sea
|
To fight the sharks out there and wait for a wind swell
|
Oh, I'm kind of like a sailor back in 1942
|
Yeah, I wanna fight the good fight, but goddamn I'm gonna miss you.
|
|
Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
|
But please don't lose your tongue.
|
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
|
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs.
|
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
|
Though, the sun might disagree
|
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
|
'Til you wake up to me.
|
|
Please don't lose your tongue.
|
Please don't lose those lungs.
|
|
Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
|
But please don't lose your tongue.
|
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
|
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs.
|
And when you're finally able to fall asleep,
|
Though, the sun might disagree,
|
I am gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
|
'Til you wake up to me.
