When you fall asleep
You forget our tired weep
Everything all at once
In this shared past
These forgotten troubles
Series of painful rubbles
Moving forward onto dawn
But only stay here with your yawn
Close your eyes my dear
There’s nothing left to fear
It’s a quiet night downtown
There is no reason to frown
We’re away from the world
Let’s not get hurled
By all these sad and strange goodbyes
We speed down the road ahead
Trying to get to our bed
With highway thoughts and a clustered mess
Darling, I’m just trying my best
As we all share these sad goodbyes
Parting away from these retired lies
Keep your closed eyes of beautiful blue
Driving away, Darling, I wish this wasn’t true

When you fall asleep
You forget our tired weep
Everything all at once
In this shared past
These forgotten troubles
Series of painful rubbles
Moving forward onto dawn
But only stay here with your yawn
Close your eyes my dear
There’s nothing left to fear
It’s a quiet night downtown
There is no reason to frown
We’re away from the world
Let’s not get hurled
By all these sad and strange goodbyes
We speed down the road ahead
Trying to get to our bed
With highway thoughts and a clustered mess
Darling, I’m just trying my best
As we all share these sad goodbyes
Parting away from these retired lies
Keep your closed eyes of beautiful blue
Driving away, Darling, I wish this wasn’t true
