Not Asking You To Leave Lyrics - Motion City Soundtrack

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 tale 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've lied 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 

All freezerburn and Arctic research 

The time has passed for parting glances, 

There's no romance, there's no sign 

Of the things that 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've lied awake for far too long 

I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn 

From nervous hands to nervous nightmares 

I often wake and 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.
