If I die before I wake
Take me back to wintertime
The moment I first saw your face
You put your hand in mine
It's been so many years, I forgot
Just how pretty you are
Keep my feet in pace with yours
I always hated exercise
But I would walk 900 miles
Before I'd lead a separate life, and
It's up to you to
Tell me when you want me to leave
I broke into your room
I wasn't looking for you
I'm holdin' it together, but
I can't keep it together, girl
Holdin' it together, but
I can't keep it together, girl
Holdin' it together, but
I can't keep it together, girl
Holdin' it together, but ...
If you lied right to my face
I would be a happy man
That would mean that you love me
Enough to think I'd understand
The weight of the world, according
To the hole in your brain
You say that I like to write
About everything except you
But that is not exactly true
I simply lacked the fortitude
And now you'll hear, the red's
Coming out of the blues
I wrote every single song
So I could sing it wrong
CHORUS
So glad you're not with him
It doesn't mean that he's not looking
If I die before I wake
Take me back to wintertime
The moment I first saw your face
You put your hand in mine
And I ...
