- LYRICS -

Bring me back to life
Never let me go
Your troubles and your strife
I saw them
Take me by the hand
As we cross through battlefields
Nobody understands
‘Cause there's nobody at the wheel

Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you

Everybody lies
One hundred times a day
The silence in your eyes
Is far too rare to give away
And it's exactly why I stay

Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you

I don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t want to wake you

I don't want to wake you
Don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t want to wake you
I don’t want to wake you

Though I may have to
I may have to
I may have to

Beautiful James
I don’t wanna wake you
Don’t wanna wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t wanna wake you
I don’t wanna wake you
Don’t wanna wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t wanna wake you
I don’t wanna wake you
