Falling Asleep Lyrics
[Intro]
She said, "I dressed in your fav—"
[Chorus]
Say what you need so you can get what you want (Get what you want)
Because it really doesn't matter if you think nobody's watching
You would do it too 'cause you're just like us
Don't you play the role and disappoint all of the people who adore you
Or you can run away from here right now
And take me with you
They won't know where to look for you, 'cause
They don't know anything about you
[Verse]
I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
'Cause they'll be tryin' to knock you down in some way
I keep a couple of feet between everybody and me
You like to take 'em away and attempt to ruin my day
And it feels like love (Feels like love)
And it seems like fate (Seems like)
But we won't know (We won't)
You're away
[Chorus]
Say what you need so you can get what you want
Because it really doesn't matter if you think nobody's watching
You would do it too 'cause you're just like us
Don't you play the role and disappoint all of the people who adore you
Or you can run away from here right now
And take me with you
They won't know where to look for you, 'cause
They don't know anything about you
She said, "I dressed in your fav—"
[Chorus]
Say what you need so you can get what you want (Get what you want)
Because it really doesn't matter if you think nobody's watching
You would do it too 'cause you're just like us
Don't you play the role and disappoint all of the people who adore you
Or you can run away from here right now
And take me with you
They won't know where to look for you, 'cause
They don't know anything about you
[Verse]
I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
'Cause they'll be tryin' to knock you down in some way
I keep a couple of feet between everybody and me
You like to take 'em away and attempt to ruin my day
And it feels like love (Feels like love)
And it seems like fate (Seems like)
But we won't know (We won't)
You're away
[Chorus]
Say what you need so you can get what you want
Because it really doesn't matter if you think nobody's watching
You would do it too 'cause you're just like us
Don't you play the role and disappoint all of the people who adore you
Or you can run away from here right now
And take me with you
They won't know where to look for you, 'cause
They don't know anything about you
About
Genius Annotation
On “Falling Asleep,” Dominic Fike sings about having a hard time trusting other people, how he actively distances himself from them, and how there are negatives to the fame and money—something that he previously discussed on the earlier DFAMD track, “She Wants My Money.”
The track originally surfaced online in April 2019, later officially releasing on YouTube in December the same year, together with “Batshit.” On January 9, 2020, both tracks were added to streaming services as a B-side to Don’t Forget About Me, Demos.
