Dont Sleep by The Metermaids Lyrics
Sleeping on couches ain't what it used to be
Now it's all tight muscles and cramped confession
And I could teach you how to open up a bottle with a lighter
But I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna learn my lessons
Sometimes whiskey tastes like my grandfather's shirt
And that ashtray is looking like a headache, right?
I brought a Guinness in the kitchen
Sit and listening in, it's like: 'Bring it bitches!'
It's all kicking on the late-nights
I like the way it feels when my jaw clenches
And I like the way you talk out the back o' your mouth
And you just brought out all your pictures of the moon
It'd be a shame to take 'em back to your house
Now, I know you're gonna feel the same way that I do
When I get back to my room
See, there's a voice inside you telling you exactly what you're missing, and all I'm asking is that you listen to it, like:
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
In my dreams I channel Greek tragedy and punishment
Every night the rock rolls down the hill
And every morning I pick it up
(And pick it up) and bring it back up again
Whistling songs about hills
It'll take more than that just to break my spirit
See, I gotta lot o' love to give
And connections misfire, make me think that I'm dying
But I'm here Daddy and I wanna live
You should know that it's golden
How you make me feel like an infant
And it's golden
The way that you can play that guitar
And it's golden
The beauty in the snapshots
And it's golden
The fact that you can deal from the start
And it's golden
The way you wear the hats in your expression
And it's golden
The way you remind me of the sea
And it's golden
Because we'll always have the wind in our face
And it's golden
'Cause I'm not leaving right now
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
Now it's all tight muscles and cramped confession
And I could teach you how to open up a bottle with a lighter
But I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna learn my lessons
Sometimes whiskey tastes like my grandfather's shirt
And that ashtray is looking like a headache, right?
I brought a Guinness in the kitchen
Sit and listening in, it's like: 'Bring it bitches!'
It's all kicking on the late-nights
I like the way it feels when my jaw clenches
And I like the way you talk out the back o' your mouth
And you just brought out all your pictures of the moon
It'd be a shame to take 'em back to your house
Now, I know you're gonna feel the same way that I do
When I get back to my room
See, there's a voice inside you telling you exactly what you're missing, and all I'm asking is that you listen to it, like:
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
In my dreams I channel Greek tragedy and punishment
Every night the rock rolls down the hill
And every morning I pick it up
(And pick it up) and bring it back up again
Whistling songs about hills
It'll take more than that just to break my spirit

And it's golden
'Cause I'm not leaving right now
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
Ayy! Don't go to sleep
We can do anything you want
Stay up with me
