Sleeping With The Light On (Demo)

lyrics

I don’t say a word
I ignore it or pretend that I can
Everybody’s heard
And they’re so proud just like I am
Cause this is what you dreamed
This is what you’re breathing for
I remember how you screamed
And danced - you danced all across my floor

I’m dreading when you go away
I’ll be sleeping with the light on
In the hope I see you in my dreams
And pray that we can lie on through the day

I don’t know what’s worse
Just how much I miss you or the part that wishes you chose not to leave
But even though it hurts
There’s comfort to be found in knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be
So when you’re giving them your all
Keep something safe somewhere for me
And if we’re anything at all
What’s three hundred miles or more across something as meagre as the sea?

I’m dreading when you go away
I’ll be sleeping with the light on
In the hope I see you in my dreams
And pray that we can lie on through the day
No matter what the distance is
You’ll be all I have my mind on
Stopping people in the streets
Saying, “tattooed across my soul is your name”

Cause nobody else is singing
About how you set my soul on fire
This one’s burning higher
And I’m not finished yet
We’re only beginning
