I didn't wanna wake up But then I felt your touch Now I notice that I drink too much And the turning of the universe oh Spent the morning as a pretender Will this be the age of surrender The falling dark it lines The walls let ours combine I didn't wanna wake up But then I felt your touch Now I notice that I drink too much And the turning of the universe oh And the children lie in their places I can see the lines in their faces The falling dark it lines The walls let ours combine I didn't wanna wake up But then I felt your touch Now I notice that I drink too much And the turning of the universe oh
