Falling Asleep On A Stranger

Pierce The Veil · A Flair for the Dramatic [2007]

Well you know that I'm cold

Black on constellations gold

And you know that your soul's

Black top under lacing won't let it go

It was all for you

All for you and more

She won't chase him anymore

To the end

Never leave

Fall asleep on the first I face

And they say

Play the game

You and me found love

Lost under the shade

Well you know I'm a ghost

Pull the note out of my throat

And leave me alone

But it's all for you

All for you and more

He won't take her anymore

To the end / Never leave

Fall asleep on the first I face

And they say / Play the game

You and me found love

Lost under the shade

Come back to my heart tonight

I don't care

Come back tonight
