...Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room, so when I
wake up feel like yeah everything's alright
(When I am sad, I am sad - but when I'm happy, oh god I'm happy, there's just no place
in-between for us to meet)
You are still here, you are still happy, you are still smiling and laughing, you are
still the only thing and everything I need in my life
(When I am sad, I am sad - but when I'm happy, oh god I am happy, there's just no place
in-between for us to meet)
