When You’re Sleeping

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 good night

In my sleeping bag

There’s room for two

I can but dream I’ll shut my eyes tight

Did I hear you cry or are you just breathing

I forgot how you sound when you’re sleeping

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

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

So 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

And I heard you cry you’re not just breathing

Hope you’re ok

Hope you get some sleep in

Can we laugh about how I don’t know anything

Take a swipe

This time I’m listening

Oooh

Oooh

Oooh
