Asleep With You Lyrics
skip a rock across the river
wishing that you were never around (around)
lets get back to the basic
and coming from you it seems almost jaded
but i've heard this one before
you and i would never part, if we had never started
again
again
fall asleep with you
tell me what you want to hear
i'll tell you it's true
fall asleep with you
this is what we do
skip the page, second chapter
night with you, i think never
oh i think never
cut the scene, now burn away
you stared at me like an actor, an actor
if we ever fall asleep
i don't mind the pain
(and you tell it to me)
fall asleep with you
this is what we got to do
fall asleep with you
this is what we do
and be patient
because they all have their eyes on you
wishing that you were never around (around)
lets get back to the basic
and coming from you it seems almost jaded
but i've heard this one before
again
again
tell me what you want to hear
i'll tell you it's true
fall asleep with you
this is what we do
night with you, i think never
oh i think never
cut the scene, now burn away
you stared at me like an actor, an actor
i don't mind the pain
this is what we got to do
fall asleep with you
this is what we do
because they all have their eyes on you

Alone to their own devices and their own thoughts, they wished the person hasn't entered their life. Thinking about the past with the person get's to the point where it's "almost jaded", almost tiring as if they're stuck in this cycle. If they never got together, they would never have to break up constantly and hooking back up later. So when they are about to sleep for another day, the person always wants to hear whatever the other has to say and wishes to believe it even if it's not true; especially when they say, "I love you.". Yet despite the words said, it doesn't hold enough meaning and is just said because it's routine since they're in a relationship "this is what we do" (lie to each other even though we don't love one another). "Skip the page second chapter" time progresses and comes another night. "Night with you, I think never, oh I think never" One of them wants a more deeper connection than the physical and more than the fear of loneliness, but the thoughts of lust take over the mind and they engage. "Cut the scene, now burn away you stare at me like an actor, an actor" they're giving in using what they know best (sex) as a way to connect and after reaching climax/orgasm, they're repulsed that their relationship is just sex and nothing more
love this song. the sound/lyrics are great. august needs to come sooner.
