We were sleeping in
Sunk inside our blankets
Sprawled across the bed
And we were dreaming

Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out
Right in front of us
Sing like you think no one's listening
You would kill for this
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You would
Sing like you think no one's listening
You would kill for this
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You would, you would
Sing me something soft
Sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key
Sing me anything
