When she sleeps
There is a fever dream, yeah
It brings a night terror
To harm this fragile bird

She speaks in tongues
Her words they come undone, yeah
And with a wayward mind
She struggles though the night

All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night

These cold nightmares
They make her worse for wear
Lost in the dark
She's got a heavy heart

And when she wakes
In her fragile state
Well, she calls my name
Hoping that I keep her safe

All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All the I can do
Is hope she makes it through

Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night

All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night

    I hope the whole new album is going to be like this! I love City and Colour but I only ever listen to him when I'm sad, but this I can listen to all day without feeling down. And yeah I read this is about his wife and her night terrors too.
