Lyrics of Sleep on the Floor by The Lumineers
chorus
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on
verse
Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin
Leave a note on your bed
Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night
Baby come on
verse
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against your dying day
verse
And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky
How do you pay the rent, is it your parents
Or is it hard work dear, holding the atmosphere?
I don't wanna live like that
chorus
If the sun don't shine on me today
If the subways flood and the bridges break
verse
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
Decide on me, yeah decide on us
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
chorus
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
Writer(s): Jeremy Fraites, Wesley Schultz
