Sworn to secrecy I might go after school She was an angel I saw her swimming there I am in such a mess I can't cope with this She just teases me Pretends she can't see me here So let me go up there I can be fresh air Stay with you all night Just let me love you Just for a while or two Be with you all night Be with you all night Just let me fall asleep Just let me fall asleep Just let me fall asleep Just let me fall asleep Just let me be here I won't tell anyone Don't want to wake up Don't want to wake up The blind lead the blind So I can't help find my way This could be heaven I don't know where I am I am too scared To come out from behind here My body is aching It feels like it's wearing me So let me go up there I can be fresh air Stay with you all night Just let me love you Just for a while or two Be with you all night Be with you all night Just let me fall asleep Just let me fall asleep Just let me fall asleep Just let me fall asleep Just let me be here I won't tell anyone Don't want to wake up Don't want to wake up
