Fall Asleep Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

We wandered off like children in the woods 

And let the searchers come but never find us 

Tried to make a life among the trees 

While your dreams collected planes and cars and cities 

You slipped away from me while I was sleeping 

To climb the tallest oak and see the lights 

Your dissatisfaction gave you questions 

Do you remember what the city sounded like? 

Do you remember what the city sounded like? 

[Chorus] 

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep 

Because we only have this moment once in our lives 

And next time we'll meet under city lights 

We're here tonight, so let's make it all it was meant to be 

So I held you but the call was from inside 

And I knew I couldn't keep you if I tried 

But I watched as the distance spread, as the shadows grew 

And the longings came like wolves to devour you 

[Chorus] 

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep 

Because we only have this moment once in our lives 

And next time we'll meet under city lights 

We're here tonight, so let's make it all it was meant to be 

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep 

Because we only have this moment once in our lives 

And next time we'll meet under city lights 

We're here tonight 

So stay up with me, don't fall asleep 

Because we only have this moment once in our lives 

And next time we'll meet under city lights 

But we're here tonight, so let's make it all it was meant to be 

Let's make it all it was meant to be 

Let's make it all it was meant to be
