When You Sleep Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Mary Lambert]
One foot in front of the other
Keep breathing just like they taught you
You politely asked to take a walk with me
I would've married you there underneath the trees
Is it real, this thing?
Is it real, ooh this thing?
[Chorus- Mary Lambert]
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
When you sleep, will it be with me?
When you sleep, will it be with me?
[Verse 2- Mary Lambert]
I swore I saw you in a dream
All dressed in white and wide smile
You politely asked to take a walk with me
And I married you there underneath the trees
Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through me
Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through
One foot in front of the other
Keep breathing just like they taught you
You politely asked to take a walk with me
I would've married you there underneath the trees
Is it real, this thing?
Is it real, ooh this thing?
[Chorus- Mary Lambert]
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
When you sleep, will it be with me?
When you sleep, will it be with me?
[Verse 2- Mary Lambert]
I swore I saw you in a dream
All dressed in white and wide smile
You politely asked to take a walk with me
And I married you there underneath the trees
Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through me
Can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through
[Chorus- Mary Lambert]
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
When you sleep, will it be with me?
When you sleep, will it be with me?
[Bridge- Mary Lambert]
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
[Chorus- Mary Lambert]
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
Be with me
When you sleep
Be with me
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
When you sleep, will it be with me?
When you sleep, will it be with me?
[Bridge- Mary Lambert]
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
How did I miss you, when I didn't know you?(Ooh)
[Chorus- Mary Lambert]
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
Be with me
When you sleep
Be with me
