Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again.
I guess that makes this the seventh time this week.
There´s some words in my head that could keep me from dying.
Are you handling this any better than I am?
If I keep it together would you promise to keep us together?

Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
But please don´t lose your tongue.
When I get home I´ll keep you up for hours
I´m gonna need breath in those lungs.
And when you´re finally able to fall asleep,
Though, the sun might disagree,
I´m gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
´Til you wake up to me.

How´s it happen that I get to have you for so long?
But then your just ripped away from me as I get tossed out to the sea
To fight the sharks out there and wait for a wind swell
Oh, I´m kind of like a sailor back in 1942
Yeah, I wanna fight the good fight, but goddamn I´m gonna miss you.

Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
But please don´t lose your tongue.
When I get home I´ll keep you up for hours
I´m gonna need breath in those lungs.
And when you´re finally able to fall asleep
Though, the sun might disagree
I´m gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
´Til you wake up to me.

Please don´t lose your tongue.
Please don´t lose those lungs.

Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
But please don´t lose your tongue.
When I get home I´ll keep you up for hours
I´m gonna need breath in those lungs.
And when you´re finally able to fall asleep,
Though, the sun might disagree,
I am gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
´Til you wake up to me.
