I was headed for a close encounter
She's eternal, spotless on the mind
Sun burnt on a battlefield
Walking on the Mason Dixon line
Soaking in a burned up journal
Couple entries cut me down to size
I could see the story ending
Already written in her eyesDon't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleepSo I buried my convictions so deep
Had to leave a map to get back home
Rebel with a fear of flying
It's time to try a new time zone
And the coast of Marseilles calling
Late at night I hear it in the wind
In my dream I'm always falling
She asks me if I'm coming inDon't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fallI'll keep you warm
Someone to hold you if he won't
I'll keep you warm
Someone to hold you if he won't
I know you're so afraid
Of frozen notes and wet parades
I'll keep you warmJust going through the normal changes
Just seeing what summer's gonna briong
If I had to do the whole thing over
I wouldn't change a single thingDon't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall
