Sleep tight memories.
We all gotta turn in sometimes.
Fall back take a seat
'cuz I never made it past the headlines.
And who could ever understand
the obligation that was forcing my hand.
Another chance for grace to win,
as I give in.
Down this river of lead I roll,
feel it pull me underneath.
If the fire don't kill me the water will,
feel it pull me underneath.
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah oh)
Lay me down to sleep.
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah oh)
I pray there's something left to keep.
I hold my breath & wait for the mountain to move,
but I forget there is nothing I can do.
I guess I never seem to choose a side,
the conversation's taking place in my mind.
Another chance for grace to win,
If I give in.
Down this river of lead I roll,
feel it pull me underneath.
If the fire don't kill me the water will,
feel it pull me underneath.
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah oh)
Lay me down to sleep.
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah oh)
I pray there's something left.
Oh, if you could but you can't get by.
You ain't going to be anything if you don't try.
Down this river of lead I roll,
feel it pull me underneath.
If the fire don't kill me the water will,
feel it pull me underneath.
Down this river of lead I roll,
feel it pull me underneath.
If the fire don't kill me the water will,
feel it pull me underneath.
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah oh)
Lay me down to sleep.
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah oh)
I pray there's something left to keep.
