Sing Me to Sleep

I've been awake for hours

Or maybe it's been days

Running hot, I'm drifting

See the smoke clouds in my wake

I need a heart attack

To rest this weary mind

I need a chain reaction

Something that might bind me

We cannot stop these feelings

They've been with us since birth

Each generation's question

How do we measure worth?

We used our skin as canvas

To mark the passing time

We learned to read the stars

For the trouble close behind

That's why I ask you to

Sing

Sing me to sleep

When the dawn breaks

(Down breaks)

I wanna be deep

Sing

(Ooh-oh sing)

Sing me to sleep

(Sing me to sleep)

If the bough breaks

(Bough breaks, bough breaks)

What can we keep

There was a moment, fleeting

When I first learned your name

I may have known the sunrise

But I never knew the flame

You were the heart attack

That arrived just on time

To start the chain reaction

When you put your hand in mine

That's why I ask you to

Sing

Sing me to sleep

(Sing me to sleep)

When the dawn breaks

(Dawn breaks)

I wanna be deep

Sing

(Ooh-oh sing)

Sing me to sleep

(Sing me to sleep)

If the bough breaks

(Bough breaks, bough breaks)

What can we keep

(Ooh Sing)

Ooh Sing

Sing me to sleep

(Sing me to sleep)

If the bough breaks

(Bough breaks, bough breaks)

What can we keep

Sing

(Woah Sing)

Sing me to sleep

(Sing me to sleep)

When the dawn breaks

I wanna be deep

Sing

(Ooh-oh sing)

Sing me to sleep

(Sing me to sleep)

If the bough breaks

(Bough breaks, bough breaks)

What can we keep

If the bough breaks

What can we keep
