i can't help but close my eyes
and i know when i do there'll be something missing
from this sleep i know that you will rise
so i'll settle and dream
i'd be the one you're missing

slow down
to enjoy your view
and i'm so tired, there's nothing i can do

so stop fighting
and stop trying
to meet a different man
i need someone here
to help me, i just know you can

i don't wanna fall asleep
i'm too scared you'll get up to leave
i'm gonna keep my eyes open
and she kept smiling
she could not see this was hard for me
she said; it's time you close them

and slow down
you need to enjoy your view
you may be tired, but don't forget that i'm tired too

so stop trying
and stop fighting
for you will surely lose
if you get some sleep now
i will try to get some sleep, too

and slow down
you need to enjoy your view
you may be tired, but don't forget that i'm tired too

so stop trying
and stop fighting
for you will surely lose
if you get some sleep now
i will try to get some sleep, too
