Lyrics

Asleep

I've got so much to do now

But I need to see you anyhow

I tell you, I can't think what could be wrong

Oh, I can't speak or say "so long"

To the na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Nervous night

I've got everything to do

See, I wanna think of you, not of me

I can't give you my consent

Like it was always meant

I can't give you an estimate

For the living cost of cautious accidents

Asleep

(I don't wanna fight with you tonight)

Asleep

(I don't wanna fight with you tonight)

Asleep

(I can't stand to see you cry)

Asleep

(I don't wanna lift my eyes)

Asleep

(I don't wanna fight with you tonight)

Asleep

(I don't wanna fight with you tonight)

Asleep

(I can't stand to see you cry)

Asleep

(I don't wanna lift my eyes)

Asleep
