You had a nosebleed, you were in my way
+
And you didn't remind me of anything
+
So, let's see how long we can go without touching
+
Why don't you sing me to sleep?
+
I know you'd never actually think about jumping

But do it for me
+
Two kids in a trench coat living alone
+
I was too happy to feel at home
+
Dancing ourselves clean late New Year's Eve
+

+
So, let's see how long we can go without talking
+
Watching me pretending to sleep
+

+
You promised that you'd never leave
+
But maybe you'll do it for me
+
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

+

+
Being myself wasn't easy
+
Do it for me
