Don't Sleep Lyrics
And the phone, it rings without her voice
but I can't wait, I can't wait for the truth
Cause I know it won't come from your lips
and the sound it makes its way down through the hall
and into my, into my room,
and I don't know what to do
cause I can't wait, I can't wait for the truth
Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound tonight
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
cause the sound still sleeps
the same with you away
Don't wake, don't drown the thoughts you like
(Don't wake, don't drown your thoughts)
because everything is fine without you
And I finally found the nerve to hear your pulse is gaining
pulse is racing, over and over again
(over and over again)
over and over again she said
I won't begin to ask you why you're leaving
(why you're leaving)
why you did those things you did
why you said those things you said
Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound tonight
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
cause the sound still sleeps
the same with you away
Don't wake, don't drown the thoughts you like
(Don't wake, don't drown your thoughts)
because everything is fine without you
And your lights go out,
yeah the airs so much easier to breathe
and my last farewell to you
might as well be said right here, right now
Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound tonight
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
cause the sound still sleeps
the same with you away
Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound tonight
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
because everything is fine without you
but I can't wait, I can't wait for the truth
Cause I know it won't come from your lips
and the sound it makes its way down through the hall
and into my, into my room,
and I don't know what to do
cause I can't wait, I can't wait for the truth
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
cause the sound still sleeps
the same with you away
(Don't wake, don't drown your thoughts)
because everything is fine without you
pulse is racing, over and over again
(over and over again)
over and over again she said
I won't begin to ask you why you're leaving
(why you're leaving)
why you did those things you did
why you said those things you said
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
cause the sound still sleeps
the same with you away
(Don't wake, don't drown your thoughts)
because everything is fine without you
yeah the airs so much easier to breathe
and my last farewell to you
might as well be said right here, right now
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
cause the sound still sleeps
the same with you away
Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound tonight
(Don't sleep, don't sleep so sound)
because everything is fine without you

so as for actually explaining the song MEANiNG as this site is meant for....
we've got a liar on our hands. a girl who lied and he heard from someone the truth. not from her. "Dont sleep, dont sleep so sound tonight" means dont be so okay with lying to me, you should be hurting too. And "cause the sound still sleeps the same with you away" means there are still no words coming from the girl. Silence remains. She leaves. He's trying to find closure in her absense.
i LOVE this song!!!!!
dunno what it means though
Just a correction, I'm pretty sure its " the town still sleeps the same with you away"
its sound.
I have the CD, and on the booklet with the lyrics it says town.
A compulsive liar in a relationship is a terrible thing. Someone too proud or ignorant to fess up to their faults and instead continue to cling to the idea of "oil and water" working together when time and time again it spurs up more conflict baaah
