Lyrics: Because of You
Album: Pleased To Meet You
Artist: Sleeper
 

because of you
i fall asleep for hours
we’re made of glue
our bodies crushed and tired
i lie and lie
and now a most peculiar
wave arrives
how it breaks my guard
waits for me
while we slide apart
i know you’re
taking me nowhere
and now there’s
nothing else to say
i never was a fan
of the winter
so you’ll understand
if i don’t stay

we’re sick today
turns out we’re only hiding
got clean away
so nothing clever finds us
we lie and lie
and all this mess we never talk about
gathers dust and doubt
somebody take the rubbish out

and on what flavour day
did you scramble away
was i lost
or tired or sleeping
didn’t i look too great
was it moments too late
when you noticed
your mistake

everyday i know you’re
taking me nowhere
and now there’s
nothing else i can say
i never was a fan
of the winter
so you’ll understand
if i don’t stay

i never was a fan of the winter time
so you’ll forgive me if i don’t stay
