What Came for Me

I woke up in the middle of the night
Relieved to feel you breathin' by my side
To know that it had only been a dream
But in it we were caught in the crossfire

My heart it took a moment to slow down
To know that we are safe and we are sound
There are no bullets flying, no one screams
Just the hum of our white noise machine

This is the fear that wakes me up at night
When it's my time, will I understand that it's my time?
Will I stare down the barrel of a gun long enough for this to flash before my eyes?
And play just like a movie
Of all I've ever seen
Or will I lose my consciousness
Before I have time to see what came for me

Sleep is starting to take over now
My lids heavy below a furrowed brow
I wrap the covers tightly all around
Such questions go unanswered 'til tomorrow

This is the fear that wakes me up at night
When it's my time, will I understand that it's my time?
Will I stare down the barrel of a gun long enough for this to flash before my eyes?
And play just like a movie
Of all I've ever seen
Or will I lose my consciousness
Before I have time to see what came for me

Sleep is starting to take over now
Such questions go unanswered 'til tomorrow
