I was headed for a close encounter
she's eternal, spotless on my mind
sun burn on the battlefield
walking on the Mason Dixon line
soaking in a burned up journal
couple entries cut me down to size
I could see the story ending
already written in her eyes

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight

So I buried my convictions so deep
had to leave a map to get back home
rebel with a fear of flying
it's time to try a new time zone
and the coast of Marseilles calling
late at night I hear it in the wind
in my dreams I'm always falling
she asks me if I'm coming in

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight

I'll keep you warm
someone to hold you if he won't
I'll keep you warm
someone to hold you if he won't
I know your so afraid
of frozen
note and wet parades
I'll keep you warm

just going through the normal changes
just seeing what summers gonna bring
if I had to do the whole thing over
I wouldn't change a single thing

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight
Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep tonight [x3]

Don't fall asleep don't fall
