While You Were Sleeping

From Bewitched2023

Written by Laufey, Spencer Stewart

Produced by Laufey, Spencer Stewart

Lyrics

While You Were Sleeping

I still can't believe That you noticed me An ocean away The heavens would say It was meant to be I'll never forget The first time I saw you then Primrose at three You had all of me Without saying a word I don't recognize myself I'm dancing down streets Smiling to strangers Idiotic things I trace it all back 3:30 am That night something turned in my heart While you were sleeping, I fell in love I can't quite believe You think I'm beautiful Must be a trick A "tag and you're it" Kind of foolery Then you take my hand Kiss me on the cheek A light pink bouquet A promise you'll stay And I start to believe I don't recognize myself I'm writing a love song Who've I become? There must be something wrong I trace it all back 3:30 am That night something turned in my heart While you were sleeping, I fell in love
