Baby, as you’re falling off to sleep
The city’s wide awake and beckoning
I do not know this enemy you fight
but strike-by-strike I’m losing you tonight
Maybe, this love is like the tide
Changing but never satisfied
I can see the dark behind your eyes
Crazy and wide awake tonight
Baby, honey, please!
Don’t just sit me down upon your knee
Heavy, the angel’s tumbling
Like a paper airplane with a broken wing
Many have been down this weary road
Where dreams are wide awake in stereo
You say you need a man that soothes your soul
and a man needs something strong that he can hold on to
Silent and tender in the sky
The city glare has left the moon to light
I do not know this enemy you fight
but strike-by-strike I’m losing you tonight
Baby, honey, please!
Don’t just sit me down upon your knee
Heavy, the angel’s tumbling
Like a paper airplane with a broken wing
Many have been down this weary road
Where dreams are wide awake in stereo
You say you need a man that soothes your soul
and a man needs something strong
a man needs something strong
a man needs something strong
that he can hold on to
