Sleeping Lyrics
are you sleeping?
or still dreaming?
still drifting off along?
I'm not leaving
with this feeling
so you'd better best be told
and how in the world did you come
to be such a lazy love?
oh, it's so simple
and fitting
the path that you are on
we're not talking
there's no secrets
there's just a note that you have gone
and all that you've ever owned
is packed in the hall to go on
and how am I supposed to live without you?
a wrong word said in anger and you were gone
I'm not listening
for signals
it's all dust now on the shelf
you're still working
you're still counting
you're still buried in yourself
and how in the world you come
to have such an absent love
oh, and how am i supposed to live without you?
a wrong word said in anger you were gone
and how am I supposed to live without anyone?
and how in the world did you come
to be such a lazy love?
and where did you go?
or still dreaming?
still drifting off along?
I'm not leaving
with this feeling
so you'd better best be told
to be such a lazy love?
and fitting
the path that you are on
we're not talking
there's no secrets
there's just a note that you have gone
and all that you've ever owned
is packed in the hall to go on
a wrong word said in anger and you were gone
I'm not listening
for signals
it's all dust now on the shelf
you're still working
you're still counting
you're still buried in yourself
and how in the world you come
to have such an absent love
a wrong word said in anger you were gone
and how am I supposed to live without anyone?
to be such a lazy love?
and where did you go?

adore these too
this one's about a relationship that's hit a rough time and instead of fighting for the love, the girls just given up "when in the world did you become such a lazy love". He loves her dearly ("how am i supposed to live without you")but if she's not willing to try to make it work, he can't fix everything for both of them
I completely agree with gd728. However, instead of it just being a rough point, I think the girl has just completely said fuck it, with her"all that you've ever owned is packed in the hall to go on".
I empathize with this song so much right now. I sometimes feel like that girl.
one of my favorite songs in the movie...so simple yet laden w/ intricacies she's leaving, all he can do is regret :[
