Sleeper

For you, I'm fighting sleep tonight.
I know I'll feel it in the morning...
but for now my fists are balled up tight.
I'll take a right hook if you'll miss me,
and fall to my knees if you'd kiss me.
I'll regard the bags under my eyes
as time better spent.

Falling in love could be an accident.

But not this time-
No, you know you tripped me.
Baited your line
and caught me hook and sinker,
reeled me in so swiftly.

And here's the part where I'll stumble over
my words like the stairs when I'm in the dark
cuz I don't know if they'll fall on deaf ears
I'm scared I'm tryin' too hard.

Say you'll wait for me.
I stayed awake to see
if you'd still be here in the morning.
Then I opened my eyes, lonely.
All my love was made for dreams.
