Lyrics
When You Fall Asleep
I.
I want to know you
why you live
why you die
why you quarrel
why you lie
who you see
what you think of
when you fall asleep
when you fall asleep
II.
I want to know you
are you caged
or set free
in love
or disbelief
does she love you
does she hold you
does she hug you
does he lie
does he cheat
does he rock you
to sleep
tell me your dreams
who you turn to
when nothing's
as it seems
when nothing's
as it seems
when nothing's
as it seems
