When You’re Sleeping

[Verse 1]

We just live in the same house

Like relatives, and I sleep on the couch

Chasing the night

So we can’t fight

Proved them right, they all had doubts

Looking for warmth from the phone light

Hope she messages to say goodnight

In my sleeping bag

There’s room for two

I can but dream, I’ll shut my eyes tight

[Chorus]

Did I hear you cry, or are you just breathing?

I forgot how you sound when you’re sleeping

[Verse 2]

Hasn’t felt like home here for ages

Don’t go upstairs, it’s like you’re contagious

We pass in the hall

And I apologise

With my hands up like

There’s a gun between my eyes

[Chorus]

Did I hear you cry, or are you just breathing?

I forgot how you sound when you’re sleeping

Can we laugh about how I don’t know anything?

Take a swipe

This time I’m listening

[Verse 3]

We just live in the same house

I’m a lodger and I sleep on the couch

And we don’t talk

I already moved on

I’d rather die than you find out

[Chorus]

And I heard you cry, you’re not just breathing

Hope you’re okay, hope you get some sleep in

Can we laugh about how I don’t know anything?

Take a swipe

This time I’m listening

[Outro]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
