Please be sweet to me My guard is down Please just sleep with me Before I drown I just drove back from Ohio But not before they let me know The numbers, they weren't lookin' All that good Now it seems the mix feels wrong They don't even hear a song About the way that people really feel Really feel Please be sweet to me My guard is down Please just sleep with me Before I drown I think about you all the time Built a bird's nest in my mind My hands pressed down on the string To find your spots And when I sing to you I see Them other girls ain't real to me It's just sometimes I hate to be alone To be alone Please be sweet to me My guard is down Please just sleep with me Before I drown
