I Lie Awake
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I'm scared
I'm not as fake
As you once heard
As you once heard
I just want to go somewhere
And hold you in my arms
To sort things on my own
But it's following
A dream
That reminds me
To believe it when I say
I lie awake
Because I'm scared
I'm not as fake
As you once heard
But we'll lay down now
Making sure we put these words
Between us
Maybe I can go somewhere
And be the only one
Maybe I can make you think
That I'm the only one
That's left to say
That I was wrong
That you've been right
About everything all along
I lie awake
Because I'm scared
I'm not as fake
As you once heard
But we'll lay down now
Making sure we
Put these words between us
Don't put these words
Between us
I lie awake
Because I'm scared
I lie awake
Because I'm scared
I'm not as fake
As you once heard
But we'll lay down
We'll lay down
Before we come
To regret our fate
And I'll push them down
And I'll push them down
On the floor between us
I lie awake
Because I'm scared
I'm not as fake
As you once heard
And we'll lay these words
And we'll put them down
On the floor between us
Don't put these words between us
Don't put these words between us
