Lyrics
Falling Asleep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do your ideals rust in the rain?
Do you feel our lives are oh so plain?
Genuine lies, an admission to doubt
There's wisdom in knowing
That we know nothing about ourselves
And we crash and burn
What's there to say if you can't say it?
And if I can't explain it
How do I expect you to change it?
I thought you could read my mind
But I don't think you have the patience
Or the time to read the signs
Every time I try to I can't breathe
And when I write you
It's cause I can't speak
I don't say what I want
'Cause I want what you're not
And I'm falling asleep
And when you go to Seattle in May
I hope it rains up and down on your parade
Just like you did on all my good days
And I put this all on you
But I got to trust myself that I won't drown
In another shallow pool again like you
And maybe one day just one day
Feel what I think and think what I feel
Every time I try to I can't breathe
And when I write you
It's cause I can't speak
I don't say what I want
'Cause I want what you're not
And I'm falling asleep
Every time I try to I can't breathe
And when I write you
It's cause I can't speak
I don't say what I want
'Cause I want what you're not
And I'm falling asleep
