Fall Asleep Lyrics
I like to think about you late at night when no one is awake
I wonder what it is you do if you feel, can you break?
Will you wake up, do you fall down?
Is it hard now living what we live in your sleep?
And when I fall asleep I want to see you there in a dream
I want to take you to the heart of every place that I've been
I'm around you I know you're around me
But sure as I'll wake up, you will always stay fast asleep
Oh, I don't know if you know but I found someone
Worth taking life a bit slow as we're moving
Everything's turning, everyone's running
But you will always stay fast asleep
And when I fall asleep I want to see you there in a dream
I want to take you to the heart of every place that I've been
I'm around you I know you're around me
But sure as I wake up you will always fall back asleep
[Guitar Solo]
I'm not as lost as I was, I see how I can go on
I feel the road far ahead
I hear the words in the songs I've been singing
Everything's turning
I won't stop running until the moment that I fall back asleep
I wonder what it is you do if you feel, can you break?
Will you wake up, do you fall down?
Is it hard now living what we live in your sleep?
And when I fall asleep I want to see you there in a dream
I want to take you to the heart of every place that I've been
I'm around you I know you're around me
But sure as I'll wake up, you will always stay fast asleep
Oh, I don't know if you know but I found someone
Worth taking life a bit slow as we're moving
Everything's turning, everyone's running
But you will always stay fast asleep
And when I fall asleep I want to see you there in a dream
I want to take you to the heart of every place that I've been
I'm around you I know you're around me
But sure as I wake up you will always fall back asleep
[Guitar Solo]
I'm not as lost as I was, I see how I can go on
I feel the road far ahead
I hear the words in the songs I've been singing
Everything's turning
I won't stop running until the moment that I fall back asleep
And when I fall asleep I want to see you there in a dream
I want to take you to the heart of every place that I've been
I'm around you
I know you're around me
But sure as I wake up
You will always fall back asleep
[Outro]
I want to take you to the heart of every place that I've been
I'm around you
I know you're around me
But sure as I wake up
You will always fall back asleep
[Outro]
