The Light in the Hall

Don’t let me fall asleep, I know it gets dark and deep
Promise you’ll keep a light on in the hall
You know me, my limit and my lie
Grief and my greed, I know you know sometimes I need it all
To just go away
That’s why I ask you over and over again
Over and over again
Don’t let me fall asleep, promises hard to keep
The loneliest leap, the farthest to fall
We been watching our friend close their eyes
Know how it ends, never be surprised
Watch them decide to just know it all
Be the sun in my eyes, be the voice in my head
Be the thorn in my side, be the fight in my bed
Be the curve in the road, be the wave crashing over the sea
But please
Don’t let me fall asleep, and I won’t let you fall asleep
Promise we’ll keep a light in the hall
