Tonight, when I fall asleep
I pray that you will come to me
‘Cause I need you by my side
I’ll hang your halo on my doorstep
And climb my staircase
You will find me waitin’
Waitin’
Put on that swimsuit
Dive right in
The water’s warm
Let’s start this whole thing over
I’m just lookin’ for somebody to love
And you’re just lookin’ for somebody to hold you
Tonight, when I fall asleep
I pray that you would come to me
‘Cause I need you by my side
Tonight, when I fall asleep
I pray that you would come to me
‘Cause I need you by my side
Oh, push me off this rollercoaster
When my body hits the ground
Come and roll me over
Hang your halo on my doorstep
And climb on my staircase
You will find me waitin’
Waitin’
Waitin’
I’m just lookin’ for somebody to love
(Just lookin’ for)
Tonight, when I fall asleep
I pray that you will come to me
‘Cause I need you by my side
Yeah, tonight, when I fall asleep
I pray that you will come to me
‘Cause I need you by my side
I’ve been thinking ‘bout everyone I know and love
I’ve been thinking ‘bout everyone I know
It’s at night when I fall asleep
I pray that you would come to me
‘Cause I need you by my side
Tonight, when I fall asleep
I pray that you would come to me
‘Cause I need you by my
I’ve been thinking ‘bout everyone I know and love
(Pick me up, I’m falling)
I’ve been thinking ‘bout everyone I know
(Pick me up, I’m falling)
I’ve been thinking ‘bout everyone I know and love
(Pick me up, I’m falling)
I’ve been thinking ‘bout everyone I know
