Dreams and limbs entangled in a heap of perfect peace
Hope’s awake while fear is fast asleep
But morning is a thief
So before the sun crawls in through the shades
Before we remember how to be afraid
Before it gets too hard to believe
Lay here with me
Before we count up what this will cost
Before the present to the past is lost
And all that’s left is a faint memory
Lay here with me
Enemies take what we need and sell well-worn lies
I’m my own worst of these, I can’t say why
‘Cause we’ll leave this room, say goodbye too soon
Watch another chance go by
So before the sun crawls in through the shades
Before we remember how to be afraid
Before it gets too hard to believe
Lay here with me
Before we count up what this will cost
Before the present to the past is lost
And all that’s left is a faint memory
Lay here with me
Space and time have conspired to bring us something good
Could be right
So why don’t you and I walk the wire this time?
So before the sun crawls in through the shades
Before we remember how to be afraid
Before it gets too hard to believe
Lay here with me
Before we count up what this will cost
Before the present to the past is lost
And all that’s left is a faint memory
Lay here with me
Stay here with me
Lay here with me
