Sleep It Off Lyrics

I'm always searching in all the wrong places
I’m always keeping my eyes stuck to the ground
We'll keep it going
Oh, we'll keep it going
And straight-face ’til the morning comes around

I'm sleep, sleeping it off, off
Oh, I'm sleeping it off

We're not falling apart
You act just fine
You rehearse every line

I always know that I'll keep you in the back of my mind
Always searching in all the wrong places
We can't stop ignoring the signs
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes

We’re always searching in all the wrong places
You keep Jersey closest to your heart
We’ll keep it going
Oh, we'll keep it going
We’ll keep it going 'til one of us changes

So I'm sleeping it off, off
Oh, I'm sleeping it off until I have the words to say
We’re not falling apart
Wearing a fake smile
You rehearse every line
I always know that I'll keep you in the back of my mind
We're always searching in all the wrong places
We can't stop ignoring the signs
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes
And I've been using distance as a way to keep avoiding this
We'll keep it going
Oh, we'll keep it going
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes

I'm sleep, sleeping it off, off
Oh, I'm sleeping it off
I'm sleeping it off
And I'll keep you in the back of my mind
We're always searching in all the wrong places
We can't stop ignoring the signs
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes
And I've been using distance as a way to keep avoiding this
We'll keep it going
Oh, we'll keep it going
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes
We'll keep it going
Oh, we'll keep it going
We'll keep it going 'til one of us changes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The singer and their partner are having troubles in their relationship. There doesn’t seem to be an obvious solution in sight as they continue to search for answers in the wrong places. Instead of talking with one another and looking to solve their issues, the singer chooses to sleep it off or ignore the problems. He keeps their partner in the back of his mind day by day. His partner acts like nothing is wrong by wearing a fake smile and continuing to repeat the same lines needed to keep the relationship going. Both of them refuse to acknowledge their issues and continue to avoid confrontation until one of them changes. Whether this change will be for better or for worse remains to be seen.
