Lay me down so I can sleep
My heart is full, my knees are weak
Though we were drunk and howling
We found ourselves a little peace
In the night
Oh no
We're all goners
White snow
Black water
Hold my head inside your hands
Tell me how much fun you had
You ain't much for making plans
I'm finding out that ain't so bad
Put a smile on people, we've made it home safe
As I slowly fall asleep there's still so much I want to say
I will rest so peacefully, tomorrow's on its way
I'm content and I am grateful to be one in this place
In this chaos in this madness we've made ourselves a home
I get carried away quickly but it seems I'm not alone
In the evening we were floating we were drifting with the snow
I'll soon be dreaming of that feeling, too soon I'll let it go
Wake me up so I can see (oh no)
The path we carved throughout the streets (we're all goners)
Though we were lost an wandering (white snow)
We found ourselves a little peace (black water)
In the night
Let me hold onto your hands (okay)
And tell you how it is I know (alright)
That things will never go as planned (long days)
And that's how they're supposed o go (goodnight)
Put a smile on people, we've made it home safe
As I slowly fall asleep there's still so much I want to say
I will rest so peacefully, tomorrow's on its way
I'm content and I am grateful to be one in this place
In this chaos in this madness we've made ourselves a home
I get carried away quickly but it seems I'm not alone
In the evening I was floating I was drifting with the snow
I'll soon be dreaming of that feeling, too soon I'll let it go
