Its a tale of old shoes
And soles of your feet
I've got blisters from running
On beaches and streets
I've been knocked down and out
I've got eyes black and blue
I'm hit in the face when I'm talking to you
Oh, don't lie down
As soon as I sleep, you'll be leaving this town
Oh, don't lie down
'Cause I'm lost
And I'm young
Got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep
You'll be leaving this town
It's a tale of tied hands
And holiday scenes
I've got romance in places that I've never been
But I've said a hundred times
That I'm all that you need
But you swear you're just stubborn and I'm just naïve
Oh, don't lie down
As soon as I sleep you'll be leaving this town
And oh, don't lie down
'Cause I'm lost
And I'm young
Got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep
You'll be leaving this town
Its a tale of old shoes
And soles of your feet
I've got blisters from running
On beaches and streets
In the absense of sound
Will you sing back to me?
Or just whisper the thoughts, and tell me to dream?
Just don't lie down
As soon as I sleep you'll be leaving this town
And oh, don't lie down
'Cause I'm lost
And I'm young
Got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep
You'll be leaving this town
