lyrics
Sleep/Sunrise
look I don't mean to say it's bad
cause I don't think these things can change, and so don't you
and as there's nothing we can do
it's doing nothing we got good at
listen to all these people talk
frenzied wild eyes, nose dipped in chalk they found some truth
and went and stuck it on repeat
into some new age half sense loop
I'm with the girl that is too high to
tell me her name or ask for mine so
I try to do without the talking
but get so tired, tired, tired
and still can't get myself to sleep
you felt that need to pile us all
our smiles on call inside a tiny photo booth
like you saw all these tourists do
guess you grew tired of playing it cool
and then we're dancing in the smoke
making up lyrics to "nothing compares to you"
before we head for one last drink
and someone to compare nothing to
I'm with the girl that is too high to
tell me her name or ask for mine so
I try to do without the talking
but get so tired, tired, tired
and still can't get myself to sleep
now I'm trudging in the sidewalks
guess I've tired of Berlin's talk
if there is no bad there is no hope
but if I'm dying, I don't expect
any of you to know my name
we can be in love if we choose to
that glitter on your cheek's looking good though
you cannot make that count on a Tuesday
when the weekend seems so far
and your friends forget to call you
you're still the one I think of when it's sunday
and the thoughts of death come screeching down my hallway
but forever's bad advice and i know better
so i go and take a walk to make sure that I won't call you
oh guess now I'm growing old
guess now we're growing old
I'm with the girl that is too high to
tell me her name or ask for mine so
I try to do without the talking
but get so tired, tired, tired
and still can't get myself to sleep
now I'm trudging in the sidewalks
guess I've tired of Berlin's talk
if there is no bad there is no hope
but if I'm dying, I don't expect
any of you to know my name
look I don't mean to say it's bad
cause I don't think these things can change, and so don't you
and as there's nothing we can do
it's doing nothing we got good at
listen to all these people talk
frenzied wild eyes, nose dipped in chalk they found some truth
and went and stuck it on repeat
into some new age half sense loop
I'm with the girl that is too high to
tell me her name or ask for mine so
I try to do without the talking
but get so tired, tired, tired
and still can't get myself to sleep
you felt that need to pile us all
our smiles on call inside a tiny photo booth
