Alkaline Trio Those Lungs Lyrics

Now I lay me down to pass away-sted again
Guess that makes this the 7th time this week
and there's some words in my head that could me from
dying
Are you handling this any better than I am?
If I keep it together, would you promise to keep us
together?

Oh sometimes we lose each other
but please don't lose your tongue
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
and when you're finally able to fall asleep, although
the sun may disagree
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe 'til
you wake up to me.

How's it happen that I get to have you for so long,
and then you're just ripped away from me as I get
tossed out to the sea
To fight the sharks out there and wait for a wind-swell
Oh I'm kind of like a sailor back in 1942 Yea I wanna fight the good fight but goddamn I'm gonna
make you.

Oh sometimes we lose each other
but please don't lose your tongue
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
and when you're finally able to fall asleep, although
the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe 'til
you wake up to me

Please don't lose your tongue
Please don't lose those lungs

Oh sometimes we lose each other
but please don't lose your tongue
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
and when you're finally able to fall asleep, although
the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe 'til
you wake up to me
