If Tonight We Could Only Sleep Lyrics
We kicked our shoes off.
Can you feel the ground beneath you shift
All I need, is time and space to breathe.
And either side of this deep breath.
At 4,15, it looked like rain
Your eyes were burning holes in me
Your eyes, this fire in your eyes
Your eyes, are burning holes through me.
She said; If i fall asleep before you, would you leave me be
I can't handle waiting, anticipating
So I pray that I fall deep.
And the lights have burned out a little early.
Oh winter It came quick
But I will burn bright through the early hours
If only we could sleep
See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes
In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined
You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin
Im shaking like a child
You turn, you turn
and the pages rimming
like our outlines
and this glow become one
Im shaking like a child
Oh no I know I can't take it
These sugared pills will always taste like shit
So I'll fire my poison darts and break this spell that's wrapped around me
But in one fell swoop, every dart would miss you and rid you clear of me
But I will burn bright through the early hours
Oh darling leave me be
See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes
In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined
You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin
Im shaking like a child
Since there has been a taste
So sour in the sound
Two marionettes tumbling to the ground
The strings come untied, they break the unwind.
What will we make?
What will we make?
Can you feel the ground beneath you shift
All I need, is time and space to breathe.
And either side of this deep breath.
At 4,15, it looked like rain
Your eyes were burning holes in me
Your eyes, this fire in your eyes
Your eyes, are burning holes through me.
I can't handle waiting, anticipating
So I pray that I fall deep.
And the lights have burned out a little early.
Oh winter It came quick
But I will burn bright through the early hours
If only we could sleep
In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined
You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin
Im shaking like a child
You turn, you turn
and the pages rimming
like our outlines
and this glow become one
Im shaking like a child
These sugared pills will always taste like shit
So I'll fire my poison darts and break this spell that's wrapped around me
But in one fell swoop, every dart would miss you and rid you clear of me
But I will burn bright through the early hours
Oh darling leave me be
In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined
You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin
Im shaking like a child
So sour in the sound
Two marionettes tumbling to the ground
The strings come untied, they break the unwind.
What will we make?
What will we make?

We kicked our shoes off Can you feel the ground beneath you shift? All I need, is time and space to breathe At either side of this deep rift At 4,15, it looked like rain Your eyes were burning holes through me Your eyes, this fire in your eyes Your eyes, are burning holes through me
She said; If I fall asleep before you, would you leave me be I can't handle waiting, anticipating So I pray that I fall deep. And the lights have burned out a little early. Oh winter It came quick I will burn bright through the early hours If only we could sleep
See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes In 3, 4 time, our thread bare strings entwined You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin I'm shaking like a child You turn, and you turn and the pages remain like our outlines in this gloom, become one I'm shaking like a child
Oh no, I know I can't take it These sugared pills will always taste like shit I'll fire poison darts and break this spell that's wrapped around me But in one fell swoop, every dart would miss you and rid you clear of me I will burn bright through the early hours Oh darling leave me be
See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes In 3, 4 time, our thread bare strings entwined You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin I'm shaking like a child
Since then there's been a taste So sour in the sound Of two marionettes, tumbling to the ground The strings come untied, they break they unwind. What will we make? What will we make? Of these scattered remains.
See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes In 3/4 time, our thread bare strings entwined You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin Skin against skin
little help with the lyrics? I couldnt find them anywhere on the net, hope someone can help.
To me, this song has always been about having sex with someone (See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes, in 3/4 time, our thread bare strings entwined. You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin) and then realising it was a mistake. As both parties are then trying to get to sleep after, they are kept awake by the ramifications of what they have done. If they could sleep they would be able to not think about it until they could part in the morning, but now they are kept awake thinking about it (She said, "If I fall asleep before you, would you leave me be; I can't handle waiting, anticipating, so I pray that I fall deep"). The act destroys whatever relationship they did have and leaves them wondering if they will be able to salvage anything from the wreckage (Since then there's been a taste so sour in the sound of two marionettes, tumbling to the ground. The strings come untied, they break they unwind. What will we make? What will we make of these scattered remains)
"All I need, is time and space to breathe. And either side of this deep breath"
