Ever since |
|
I was young, your word is the word that always won |
|
Worry and wake the ones you love |
|
A phone call |
|
I'd rather not receive, please use my body while |
|
I sleepMy lungs are fresh and yours to keep |
|
Kept clean and they will let you breathe |
|
Is this the way a toy feels |
|
When its batteries run dry? |
|
I am the watch you always wear |
|
But you forget to wind |
|
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these |
|
So I sat alone and waited out the night |
|
The best part of what has happened was the part |
|
I must have missed |
|
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around |
|
I'm not writing my goodbyes |
|
I submit no excuse if this is what |
|
I have to do |
|
I owe you every day |
|
I wake, if |
|
I could I would shrink myself |
|
And sink through your skin to your blood cells |
|
Remove whatever makes you hurt, but |
|
I am too weak to be your cure |
|
Is this the way a toy feels |
|
When its batteries run dry? |
|
I am the watch you always wear |
|
But you forget to wind |
|
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these |
|
So I sat alone and waited out the night |
|
The best part of what has happened was the part |
|
I must have missed |
|
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around |
|
I'm not writing my goodbyes |
|
I'm not letting you check out, you will beat this starting now |
|
And you will always be around |
|
I'm there to monitor your breathing |
|
I will watch you while you're sleeping |
|
I will keep you safe and sound |
|
Does anybody remember back |
|
When you were very young? |
|
Did you ever think that you |
|
Would be this blessed? |
|
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these |
|
So I sat alone and waited out the night |
|
The best part of what has happened was the part |
|
I must have missed |
|
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around |
|
I'm not writing my goodbyes |
