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 eyes Don't fall asleep Don't fall asleep tonight Don't fall asleep Don't fall asleep So 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 in 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 I'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 warm Just 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 thing 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 asleep tonight Don't fall asleep Don't fall
