So near asleep I hear your breath The root of living in your chest It is the fact that you are here It is the proof that you are here What's done should just be done Don't talk just use our lungs The brains that your dad said you had, you lost them Terrified of our potential And all the ways we might fail to meet it 'Round here we are all the same We want sleep with no bad dreams In our own bed with heat From somebody who won't keep me awake The simplest act is still the one That we'll remember when we're done The last thing I hope I forget When everything else starts to slip Is sleeping over your parents' bedroom We'd turned eighteen not long ago The open window had made it so cold For me, you shut it Then came back to bed 'Round here we are all the same We want sleep with no bad dreams In our own bed with heat From somebody who won't keep me awake So nothing risked is nothing gained It's the surest way to stay safe Afraid to spell out the ways That we think we could help each other So lay next to me tonight Though I may not be satisfied I will stay by your side And be company 'til the morning light
