I believe there's another verse before the final "there's a story in which my eyes shut, could you wake me up" can't quite make out the lyrics though. this song is beautiful - especially live!

Lyric Correction

Yea, I wonder what Jack sings during this that part towards the end!

They played a set at Cochella this year and it was much more clear what he was saying. I've updated the lyrics with the verse. I watched about 20 live performances before I was convinced I had it right. The band does however seem to change from "Could You back me up" to "Would you Back me up" from time to time. In this Cochella show they used "Would you back me up".
