Sleeping Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They cry 'cause that's what they do

Wo-oh, when somebody's died

That's just the right thing to do

But you stay locked in your room

And the months turn into years

I couldn't list out all my fears

[Chorus]

So I slipped into that pretty, black mess

Sold my soul back, and yeah, it made less

Than I knew I could get on for it

I was sleeping, I was snoring

[Post-Chorus]

La-la, la-la

La-la, la-la

La-la, la-la

La-la, la-la

[Verse 2]

They cheer 'cause that's what they do

When you're happy for yourself

They'll be so happy with you

Until push comes to shove

And nobody is around

Nobody offers any love

[Chorus]

So I slipped into that pretty, black mess

Sold my songs back, then it made sense

But I knew I was so in for it

I was sleeping, I was snoring

[Post-Chorus]

(La-la) You didn't meet me at the bar

(La-la) You didn't meet me in the rain

(La-la) You didn't meet me at the car

(La-la) You only drove me insane (Insane)

(La-la) You didn't meet me in the park

(La-la) You didn't meet me at her grave

(La-la) You didn't meet me at the bar

(La-la) You only drove me insane (Insane)

[Chorus]

When I slipped into that pretty, black mess

Sold my soul, and yeah, it made less (La-la, la-la)

Than I knew I could get on for it (La-la, la-la)

I was desperate, I was soarin' (La-la, la-la)

When I slipped into that pretty, black mess (La-la, la-la)

Sold my soul back, then it made sense (La-la, la-la)

But I knew I was so in for it (La-la, la-la)

I was sleeping, I was snoring (La-la, la-la)

[Post-Chorus]

(La-la) You didn't meet me at the bar

(La-la) You didn't meet me in the rain

(La-la) You didn't meet me at the car

(La-la) You only drove me insane (Insane)

(La-la) You didn't meet me in the park

(La-la) You didn't meet me at her grave

(La-la) You didn't meet me at the bar

(La-la) You only drove me insane

[Outro]

La-la, la-la

La-la
