​watch you sleep. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The morning sun shines on your skin
'Cause your white curtains, they are paper-thin
Windows open, I can feel the breeze
But we're safe here, under the sheets

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna leave
I'll watch you sleep and listen to you breathe
Ooh, oh
I don't ever wanna leave
I'll watch you sleep, I'll watch you sleep

[Verse 2]
I never get bored of looking at you
'Cause every time, I see something new
Like the scar on your spine
You fell off a roof when you were nine
You lived a life before me

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna leave
I'll watch you sleep and listen to you breathe
Ooh, oh
I don't ever wanna leave
I'll watch you sleep, I'll watch you sleep
[Outro]
I don't ever wanna leave
I'll watch you sleep, I'll watch you sleep
I don't ever wanna leave
I'll watch you sleep, I'll watch you sleep
I'll watch you sleep
I'll watch you sleep
