When You Sleep by Mary Lambert

When You Sleep by Mary Lambert:

One foot in front of the other

Keep breathing just like they taught you

You politely asked to take a walk with me

I would've married you there underneath the trees

Is it real, this thing?

Is it real, ooh, this thing?

I could make you happy

I could make you love me

I could disappear completely

I could be your love song

I could be long gone

I could be a ghost in your eardrum

When you sleep, will it be with me?

When you sleep, will it be with me?

I swore I saw you in a dream

All dressed in white and wide smile

You politely asked to take a walk with me

And I married you there underneath the trees

Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through me?

Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through?

I could make you happy

I could make you love me

I could disappear completely

I could be your love song

I could be long gone

I could be a ghost in your eardrum

When you sleep, will it be with me?

When you sleep, will it be with me?

How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)

How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)

How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)

How did I miss you, when I didn't know you? (Ooh)

I could make you happy

I could make you love me

I could disappear completely

I could be your love song

I could be long gone

I could be a ghost in your eardrum

I could make you happy

I could make you love me

I could disappear completely

Be with me when you sleep

Be with me
