Sleeping Lyrics
Gonna know now this song's about you
I wrote these words with you in mind
Anne baby, don't you think you deserve
A little more cause you've been used up
And thrown around like worthless hope
All in all in all again
You've got more damned sinners
Than saints as friends
Your halo's slid and it's choking you
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
Four AM, there's someone on your shoulder
They call when it's suddenly cold
You're like an autumn's leaf in winter's wind
Blown away by the sudden lack of friends
When you need someone close
Don't feed me lines of good intentions
I'm the greatest of the least of these
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
I wrote these words with you in mind
Anne baby, don't you think you deserve
A little more cause you've been used up
And thrown around like worthless hope
All in all in all again
You've got more damned sinners
Than saints as friends
Your halo's slid and it's choking you
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
They call when it's suddenly cold
You're like an autumn's leaf in winter's wind
Blown away by the sudden lack of friends
When you need someone close
Don't feed me lines of good intentions
I'm the greatest of the least of these
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

Stephen makes beautiful music.
Like MCSmate said, the song title of this has changed (for the like 500th- but final!- time). ;)
it's about a girl who is being mistreated by her partner... and he wants to take her away from that and give her the more that she deserves... such a beautiful song.. .free download from myspace.com/woodwaterrecords .... get it... it will make your day
This song reminds me so much of a book called Redeeming Love. Just how she had been mistreated all her life and this man comes to rescue her and all he wants to do is love her.
Stephen Christian is a genius. I'd think that there'd be more comments seeing as how Anberlin is popular. It's sad that no one gets into this that much. I saw them in Orlando in January and not many people were there. I saw Anberlin at the same place 2 months later and there was a line down the street...
interesting isn't it. but i don't think stephen is advertising this side project that much. becuase it is just that, a side project. but its brilliant! maybe some people are a bit put off by the (indie, i suppose, if you could put a lable on it) style for a start. but on listening for a while you can really appreciate the genius.
i love this song
i love the way stephen's voice bounces around on this track
simply amazing, can't wait for a full length
i agree it's about a girl who is caught up in something and the "protagonist" (if you can call it that) wants to save her... i love the line "your halo's slid and it's choking you" it's like he can see good in her..but if only she could see good in herself
