We were better on the first time
Love as simple as a mother and her baby child
Then you rocked our cradle and we fell out of love

Oh, laying wide awake
Tell me how could I forget all the words to our lullaby
We've fallen, fallen out of love

Oh, no, I try everything to reach you
Sound you out but you would only lead to
A picture book with no words

A bedtime story I'm pretending
Left me with a happy ending
The sheep I count come in herds

When I'm gone, I creep, but you gossip in your sleep
So I'll know all the secrets you keep under the sheets, no

We were better on the first time
Love as simple as a mother and her baby child
Then you rocked our cradle and we fell out of love

Oh, laying wide awake
Tell me how could I forget all the words to our lullaby
We've fallen, fallen out of love

So please don't let me fall asleep
These childish dreams only make me weaker
So please do something, wake me, make a sound
I'm scared I won't wake up before I hit the ground

We were better on the first time
Love as simple as a mother and her baby child
Then you rocked our cradle and we fell out of love

Oh, laying wide awake
Tell me how could I forget all the words to our lullaby
We've fallen, fallen out of love

We've fallen, fallen out of love
