Help me stay awake, I'm falling asleep And I don't want to fall asleep while you're here You're gonna leave when the alarm clock beeps And it will beep any moment, my dear
And all that we have will be locked into memory Like everything that we've had before So I will stay awake And I will watch the fire burning And keep the hungry wolves from the door
Help me find my way back to the bread crumbs I've wandered alone through the trees The lights are dimming in the windows of the houses And my heart is starting to freeze
See, we have a light but we won't use it We're scared we'll lose it if we don't use it Then we'll die here in the dark And they will find us hopeless and helpless And clutching our frozen hearts
But you and I, well, we'll be buried side by side And time, it won't mean a thing I'll be your underground groom You'll be my underground bride
Please, can you help me keep my head above the water I have cramp in both of my calves Yeah, my lungs are filling up with cold dirty water But I've a sickness that is making me laugh See we have boat but we don't think it We're scared we'll sink but we'll drink it If we never find that raft We will sink down to the bottom of the ocean With the fishes that glow in the dark
But you and I, well, we'll sink down side by side And time, it won't mean a thing I'll be your underwater groom You'll be my underwater bride And, oh, the lights are fading my love And, oh, the water's filling me up And, oh, the lights are fading my love
