when the sun came up
we were sleeping in
sunk inside our blankets
sprawled across the bed
and we were dreaming

there are moments when i know it
and the world revolves around us
and we're keeping it
keeping it all going
this delicate balance
vulnerable
all knowing

(sing like you think no one's listening)

you would kill for this
just a little bit

so, sing me something soft
sad and delicate
or loud and out of key
sing me anything
we're glad for what we've got
done with what we've lost
our whole lives laid out right in front of us

    To me this song is about that moment at prom when you realise that though everything you've known is over, you have everything else to do and it's up to you what you become. It's that sort of feeling that makes you want to sing like no ones listening. It reminds me of waking up after my prom night, hungover but in a reflective mood.
