lyrics

Don't wake me up if you are to find me
Just leave a note addressing me kindly
Wait a winter long, a struggle to find sleep
Winter's come and gone, a struggle in cool sheets

I promise you

That if you go
I will follow
But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow
And if you go
I will follow
But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow

Don't say out loud the secrets that you keep
You'll find yourself digging in too deep
Your winters wasted days, a struggle to find sleep
My winter wastes away, I struggle in cool sheets

I promise you

That if you go
I will follow
But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow
And if you go
I will follow
But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow

Tomorrow

You'll talk me into driving with you today
I'm confident that it'll be okay
But don't wake me up even if in need
Leave me a note, leave me to my cool sheets

I promise you

That if you go
I will follow
But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow
And if you go
I will follow
But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow
