Not Asking You To Leave Lyrics
I'm not asking you to leave,
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep.
I've lied awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn.
As summer hangs on the horizon
Desire jumps the fence and hightails to the sea.
A subtle day turns into nightmares
Without the sentence structure
Nothing functions, no one has a clue
If it's me or if it's you.
Was it me or was it you?
I'm not asking you to leave,
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep.
I'm lying awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn.
As winter strangles at the shoreline
Division locks the door and confiscates the key
Freezer burn and Arctic research
The time has past for parting glances
There's no romance, there's no sign
Of the things I used to be.
And all those things you promised me.
I'm not asking you to leave
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
I'm lying awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
From nervous hands to nervous nightmares
I hope that we can find
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
I'm not asking you to leave,
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep.
I've lied awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn.
I'm not asking you to leave
(I'm not asking you to leave)
I'm not asking you to leave
(I'm not asking you to leave)
I'm not asking you to leave
(I'm not asking you to leave)
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep...
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep.
I've lied awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn.
Desire jumps the fence and hightails to the sea.
A subtle day turns into nightmares
Without the sentence structure
Nothing functions, no one has a clue
If it's me or if it's you.
Was it me or was it you?
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep.
I'm lying awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn.
Division locks the door and confiscates the key
Freezer burn and Arctic research
The time has past for parting glances
There's no romance, there's no sign
Of the things I used to be.
And all those things you promised me.
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
I'm lying awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
I hope that we can find
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
We're not alone, just lonely all of the time.
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep.
I've lied awake for far too long,
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn.
(I'm not asking you to leave)
(I'm not asking you to leave)
(I'm not asking you to leave)

I think the second verse is: "Division locks the door and confiscates the key Freezer burn and artic research"
This seems to be able a failing relationship that although has problems, Justin doesn't want to ruin it. He's not telling her to 'get out' he's just asking her to let him have his space. The 'desire jumps the face' line implies the attraction to each other has dissappered...
yeah its like not wanting to end it but your constantly avoiding it
what cd is this off of?
What is this song....?
^ it was recorded for even if it kills me, but didn't make the final cut.
it's on even if it kills me as a bonus track on itunes, though. and coincidentally it ended up being among my favorite tracks from the album. the chorus especially strikes me as brill.
i love wikipedia :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_If_It_Kills_Me
