Before I Wake

Out in the starless darkness
The city smiled on itself
Traffic signals switched from green to red;
I searched your body for evidence
Under a dogwood canopy
Your hand in mine, frozen in time
Who would've guessed life as we knew was ending?
So don't cry, we'll be alright
Once I get you cleaned up, babe, we'll run away
But if you die before I wake
Have my heart, it's yours to take
A sacrifice for our sake;
I'd give my whole life for you any day
Daylight drew the sickness
I brush the bangs from your face
While watching your eyes turn from green to red
Back in our old apartment
Collecting dust on a shelf
The memories of you and me
Incinerate from under ?
So don't cry, we'll be alright
Once we get you picked up, babe, we'll run away
But if you die before I wake
Have my heart, it's yours to take
A sacrifice for our sake;
I'd give my whole life for you any day
Love of mine
Call out if it eats you from the inside
Out of time
But be sure I'll be all yours, I'll be on the side
Sometimes, it's harder to stay alive
But if you die before I wake
Have my heart, it's yours to take
A sacrifice for our sake;
I'd give my whole life for you any day
