Sleeping With A Gun Under My Pillow Lyrics

Pushing through the topsoil
And blinking in the light
Shading my eyes from the morning sun
I just wish that I could still see the world sometimes
The way I saw the world when I was young

Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun under my pillow
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun under my pillow

Sometimes it gets lonely
Being valiantly alone
Sometimes I wish I was human, too
I get sad just thinking
Of all the little things
I never, ever had the heart to do

Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun under my pillow
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun under my pillow

Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun under my pillow
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun
Sleeping with a gun under my pillow

If I looked out of a
Different window would the
Snow still fall as beautiful?

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.

This song goes right through me. I can't even listen to it anymore it's just so intense. Sometimes it gets lonely, being valiantly alone. Truth.

These are the correct lyrics:

Pushing through the topsoil And blinking in the light Shading my eyes from the morning sun I just wish that I could still see the world sometimes The way I saw the world when I was young

Sometimes it gets lonely Being valiantly alone Sometimes I wish I was human, too I get sad just thinking Of all the little things I never, ever had the heart to do

If I looked out of a Different window would the Snow still fall as beautiful?
