Lyrics
She's Sleeping Next To Me
One time at the movies, that guy took your seat.
I doused him with soda and we ran naked through the streets.
One time renting movies, that guy took the last copy,
I threw a chair at him and we ran naked through the streets.
None of that ever happened,
but if it did I'd have a reason why you close your eyes with mine each night and soundly sleep.
She's sleeping next to me, our legs entwine, the blanket covers spoken secrets.
She's sleeping next to me, I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be.
She's sleeping next to me, because I said that I would always be there for her.
She's sleeping next to me because I sing just for her and I mean every word.
One time at the disco, that guy tried to kiss you.
I took all his rhinestones and pawned them for some bubblegum.
None of that ever happened,
but if it did I'd have a reason why you close your eyes with mine each night and softly breathe.
She's sleeping next to me, our skin tones mesh,
Our canvas is a work in progress.
She's sleeping next to me, I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be.
She's sleeping next to me, our easel is a variation on a theme.
She's sleeping next to me because I sing into her ear and mean every single word I breathe.
When she wakes she breaks with the morning air.
She leans over but the clock's all wrong.
Her skin stretches over mine like origami in the sun and my mind races for a reason why.
She's sleeping next to me, our skin tones mesh, our canvas is a work in progress.
She's sleeping next to me, I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be.
She's sleeping next to me, because I said that I would always be her shoulder.
She's sleeping next to me because I sing into her ear and I mean every word.
She's sleeping next to me.
Because I mean every word I sing.
