lyrics

You had your chances, you had the answers down
And your irresistible getaway castle with no way out
She was a thing, she was an artifact for your collection
It was almost complete, just one missing piece
The world at your feet
Still shy of perfection, but

I'm the one who's singing her to sleep
Without a fancy car or a wedding ring
Or a fortune waiting in the wings
I'm the one who's singing her to sleep

And I've never been anywhere, never made this world mine
You can slave away for the milllionaires, it won't make a man refined
I work and I sleep, and drink on the cheap when I'm drinking
But she's happy to be swimming in the same sea
Between you and me, I don't know what she's thinking but

I'm the one who's singing her to sleep
Without a wild night on the streets of Rome
Or a pleasure cruise, or a second home
I'm the one who's singing her to sleep

And I never learned how to play the game
How to win the world, how to make a name
And I fall apart like I'm seventeen
And I'll never know what she sees in me

But I'm the one who's singing her to sleep
