The Get Up Kids
"While You Were Sleeping"


I'll Write it down
Misunderstanding
I try to speak it, but you're already asleep
Expensive time
Expensive triggers
I fall asleep to soothing static on the screen

Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake

Still we find
Common footing
The tie that binds might be our own worst enemy

Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake

LyricsWhile you were sleeping
I'll say 'I'm sorry'
That I take you for granted

Every unsuspecting scene
That we're supposed to make believe
We're not tearing at the seams
We hang on
We hang on
Don't wait so long
