Such Small Hands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I saw you in my sleep, darling
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every broken promise that your body couldn't keep
I think I saw you in my sleep
Oh!
[Verse 2]
I think I saw you in my sleep, darling
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every broken promise that your body couldn't keep
I think I saw you in my sleep
[Verse 3]
I thought I heard the door open, oh no
Thought I heard the door open
But I only heard it close
I thought I heard a plane crashing
But now I think it was your passion snapping
[Verse 4]
I think you saw me confronting my fear
It went up with the bottle and went down with the beer
And I think you ought to stay away from here
There are ghosts in the walls and they
Crawl in your head through your ear
I think I saw you in my sleep, darling
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every broken promise that your body couldn't keep
I think I saw you in my sleep
Oh!
[Verse 2]
I think I saw you in my sleep, darling
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every broken promise that your body couldn't keep
I think I saw you in my sleep
[Verse 3]
I thought I heard the door open, oh no
Thought I heard the door open
But I only heard it close
I thought I heard a plane crashing
But now I think it was your passion snapping
[Verse 4]
I think you saw me confronting my fear
It went up with the bottle and went down with the beer
And I think you ought to stay away from here
There are ghosts in the walls and they
Crawl in your head through your ear
[Verse 5]
I think I saw you in my sleep, lover
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every mangled promise that your body couldn't keep
I think I saw you in my sleep
I think I saw you in my sleep, lover
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every mangled promise that your body couldn't keep
I think I saw you in my sleep
