​i’m still asleep

[Verse 1]
My friends told me
To bring some red wine and a cape
I was bound to be left in a disarmful state
My lover told me
To eat my silver lining from a plate
I felt quite alarmed; wasn't I supposed to feel great?

[Verse 2]
My friends warned me
I was gonna be out until past eight
I felt quite alright as I told my parents not to wait
I wasn’t built to break, I wasn't built to break, I wasn't built to break for this
I wasn’t built to break, I wasn't built to break, I wasn't built to break for this

[Chorus]
And I am so caught up in this house of mine
As have never learned to disown
And I am still asleep, slipping un—, slipping under this house
And I am still asleep, slipping un—, slipping un—
Slipping un—, slipping un—, slipping under

[Verse 3]
I guess I should have told them
That I'm scared to die
Sitting around in our chairs is no way to live by
I guess I should inform them
That it takes me a while to decide
Should I speak of these violets falling beside me all the time?

[Chorus]
And I am so caught up in this house of mine
As I have never learned to disown
And I am still asleep, slipping un—, slipping under this house
And I am still asleep, slipping un—, slipping un—
Slipping un—, slipping un—, slipping un—
Slipping un—, slipping un—, slipping un—
Slipping un—, slipping un—, slipping un—
Slipping un—, slipping un—, slipping un—, I'm slipping under
