Lyrics
Sleeper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's been a long time,
but I'm here.
I'm keeping your heart pumping.
'Cause all the bad guys in your life,
they never taught you nothing.
And all the bad dreams that you had,
I thought they'd amount to something.
You'll stick around,
but now it's your time to get out.
And don't fall,
don't fall asleep tonight.
Because I,
I won't fall asleep tonight.
Not tonight.
And don't fall,
don't fall asleep tonight.
I won't let you fall.
Walking on eggshells,
or thin ice.
I'm trying to save a life here.
Just bite your tongue soon
before you end up choking, too.
I'm not convinced you're any different than before.
And don't fall,
don't fall asleep tonight.
Because I,
I won't asleep tonight.
Not tonight.
And don't fall,
don't fall asleep tonight.
I won't let you fall.
