I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead
The singer sees the person they love lying next to them, and they are finally able to express their true feelings, whether they are awake or asleep, alive or dead.
