[Verse 1] Every dream I ever had but didn't dare to say, I hid inside a box to let it hurt and heal away. Then one day he came along, While I was writing my swan song, "How about some love?" he asked today. I was completely in a daze. Do I erase the former days? You know how hard it is for me to keep my quiet ways... So I let go of the strings, Over death and living things, The opposite of taking is the hesitation it brings. [Chorus] So... He came so near... It's getting late... He fell in love before the song had met its fate. In the pitch-black of the night, I gave up the counting fight, Sheep between the dreams. [Verse 2] Familiar face, a pleasant grace, Easy to bring to the parents' place. "Look, there are angels in the City of Sin." Work a little on the drawl, Maybe you will take it all, I started laughing right after the car had gone. [Chorus] So... He came so near... It's getting late... He fell in love before the song had met its fate. In the pitch-black of the night, I gave up the counting fight, Sheep between the dreams. [Verse 3] Kiss me goodnight and let me be, Leave all the writing up to me, Seriously, how much can a person overthink? If you regret it, take a care, I hold a weapon, fully bare, Just ask the audience, if they are still sitting there... [Chorus] So... He came so near... It's getting late... He fell in love before the song had met its fate. In the pitch-black of the night, I gave up the counting fight, Sheep between the dreams.
