I Watch You Sleep Lyrics

i will hang your smiles on hooks
break your fingers to hold my hand
lock you inside my picture of you
and keep it face down
i will know you like no one else
i will use your eyes to see myself
nobody else can know what you mean to me
our closeness will be legendary
our love will be hated
i'll take your tongue and make them see your kisses drying on me
we are one -- for how long?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i don't care how cliché'd these lyrics may seem, i still think this song is beautiful.. especially live.

to me, it sounds like a typical love-hate scenario. the couple love each other unconditionally; "our closeness will be legendary / our love will be hated". but, in a love-to-hate way, which leaves the guy asking, "we are one -- for how long?"
