[Verse 1]
I love you better when you're asleep
And I love you tender when you can't see me
Did I read a book or did we have a story?
Did I turn the page or did we hug in this bed?
[Chorus]
'Cause I only like you when you're asleep
That way I can imagine how you speak to me
Love it is work, I'm overtime
Don't get reward for giving up my pride
'Cause I only like you when you're asleep
[Verse 2]
I put words into your mouth that you never speak
So did you comfort me, or was that another poetry?
Did I read a book or did we have a story?
Did I turn the page or did we hug in this bed?
[Chorus]
'Cause I only love you when you're asleep
That way I can imagine how you speak to me
Love it is work, I'm overtime
Don't get reward for giving up my pride
'Cause I only love you when you're
[Bridge]
Asleep
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
When you're asleep (When you're, when you're)
[Outro]
I put words into your mouth, that you never speak
So I love you better when you're asleep
Only When You’re Asleep was written by Magnus Skylstad & Sei Selina.
Only When You’re Asleep was produced by Magnus Skylstad.
Sei Selina released Only When You’re Asleep on Fri Dec 03 2021.
Videoen fremmer litt dypere det som ligger imellom linjene i låta. Selve låta portretterer en kjærlighetskonflikt, men musikkvideoen forsterker hvordan den også tar for seg en indre konflikt og kamp.
