While You Soundly Sleep by The gettysburg address Lyrics
[Intro]
My body lingers around you
Like the shadows of an abandoned house
And I stay there
But I would go anywhere
[Verse 1]
My eyelids are hooked
To the weight of a thousand problems
The harder I pull, the more I tear through the skin
I somehow still can't sleep
My lips need the taste of yours
And it all leaves me to wonder
How I lost sight of the exit door
You leave me wanting more
[Chorus]
My heart
(My heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
Yeah, my heart
(Yeah, my heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
[Verse 2]
I stumble aimlessly
Through a gray adolescence
The closer I get is the further I walk away
Bury me in my own backyard
Not even in death can I stand amongst a crowd
[Chorus]
My heart
(My heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
Yeah, my heart
(Yeah, my heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
[Bridge]
Go!
[Outro]
You tore me up like the receipt in your pocket
That you left there
All day long
My body lingers around you
Like the shadows of an abandoned house
And I stay there
But I would go anywhere
[Verse 1]
My eyelids are hooked
To the weight of a thousand problems
The harder I pull, the more I tear through the skin
I somehow still can't sleep
My lips need the taste of yours
And it all leaves me to wonder
How I lost sight of the exit door
You leave me wanting more
[Chorus]
My heart
(My heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
Yeah, my heart
(Yeah, my heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
[Verse 2]
I stumble aimlessly
Through a gray adolescence
The closer I get is the further I walk away
Bury me in my own backyard
Not even in death can I stand amongst a crowd
[Chorus]
My heart
(My heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
Yeah, my heart
(Yeah, my heart)
Still beats
(Still beats)
While you soundly sleep
(While you soundly sleep)
[Bridge]
Go!
[Outro]
You tore me up like the receipt in your pocket
That you left there
All day long
