Lullaby

Tonight's our last date
The next time I see you
Might just be at the altar
Dancing shoes don't you falter

Scanning the faces
Of a family crowd
The light and the pressure
Makes a noise out loud

This isn't it
Oh no there has to be more
There will be more waiting
When you pass through the door

This can't be it
Oh no they said there was more
There you go with your hands cupped
Nailed to the floor

Tonight's my last night
The next time you see me
Be laid down in a suit
Staring holes in the ceiling

There isn't a goodbye
This isn't a lullaby
We stick to the script
Or we don't exist at all

There can't be a second chance
You don't get a last dance
The water's too high
You accept that you're drowning and die

So don't expect to be dreaming
And go searching for meaning
You pull your last breath
And pray you wake up in your bed

Where the trees mark the clearing
You bury your earrings
Your clothes, house, and money
All the things that you cannot bring

Tonight's my big night
Can't help feeling so old
Took a nap on the couch
Felt my body get cold

I took the phone off
Don't deserve a good answer
You get wasted in the night
Out to dinner with a dancer

This isn't it
Oh no it's such a sad feeling
When you know in your heart
That your lover is leaving

This isn't it
Oh god it can't be true
They run off with your heart
And you're left all blue

Tonight I'm tired
Something good on the tube
I look around my room
And I don't see you

And I check all the closets
And I check the upstairs
And I'm ripping up carpet
Finding pieces of our hair

But there's nothing else left
There's nothing else there
But there's nothing else left
There's nothing else there
But there's nothing else left
There's nothing else there
But there's nothing else left
There's nothing

What I'll miss is the taste of a kiss
And the buzz in my throat
When I was singing you to sleep
I'll never stop missing it
I see you in my dreams
You sit there and smile
You won't talk to me
And so I go through my night
And I try to make you happy
I would lay down my life
Just to see you happy
Because you saw me as a person
When no one else did
When I was an object
When I was a kid

There was light in favorite moments
We can never forget we can never forget
We can try to until we die
But we can never forget

Never forget
Never forget
Never forget

Where the sun hits your window
I'm praying you'll see me
The wind in the sky
I am praying you'll hear me
In the water at night
I am praying you'll feel me
The beat of your heart
I pray you'll still love me

When you sang me to sleep
When you sang me to sleep
Your words caught fire
When you sang me to sleep

Sang me to sleep
Sang me to sleep
Your words caught fire
When you sang me to sleep

When you sang me to sleep
When you sang me to sleep
Your words caught fire
When you sang me to sleep

Sang me to sleep
Sang me to sleep
Your words caught fire
When you sang me to sleep

Will you sing me to sleep
Will you sing me to sleep
Your words catch fire
When you sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Your words catch fire
Will you sing me to sleep

Will you sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Will your words catch fire
When you sing me to sleep

Will you sing me to sleep
Will you sing me to sleep
Your words catch fire
Send me to sleep

I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to go to bed
I don't want to be alone
