Sleepwalking [XXXV]
[sleepwalking] Ev'ry time you go to sleep, there's a story I want you to know. It's why you might wake somewhere over the rainbow— you dunna remember going. I tried to take a picture picture— but the flesh blinded us both, With a lens cap on it's exposing nothing, a focus-ring on yesterday. [Chorus | Layered Vocals] I fell in love with you while you were a sleep. I fell in love with u while u were sleepin'. I fell in love with you while you were sleepily movin' through the dark. We're two signals passin' through. And now, lookin' back, I'm thinkin' maybe— oh no, but how it might really be true— that I could be asleep, too. [Verse 2 | Dry Vocal] The steps matched mine in a hallway that kept growin'. We drifted away, Leaves leanin' into tomorrow, chasin' what stories our dreams left behind in disarray. [Pre-Chorus] I just want you to see it— Even while we sleep, Even while the night proves it, Even while the light bruises corners we've already left, Even while we forget ourselves [Coda 1] The story carried us to rooms we never thought we'd want to cross. to cross. The story carried us to rooms we never saw we'd need to cross. to cross. [Verse 3] Ev'ry sleep—a story. oh why do I need you to know: You might wake in the kitchen— Hands tastin' the dark, Not knowin' how you got there; I tried to take a few pictures, but the light did blind us both— A blank frame stuck on yesterday, Focused on infinity. [Chorus | Heavy Reverb] I fell in love—while you were asleep. I fell in love—while you were sleepin'. I fell in love—while you were sleepily movin' through the dark, Just a signal passin' through. Lookin' back now, I see that Maybe— how it could really be the truth— that I was asleep too. [Verse 4] The footprints matching mine in a hallway that keeps growing. We'll drift together, Leaning into tomorrow's leaves, Catching the parts of ourselves The world will toss away. [Pre-Chorus] I just want you to see it— Even while we sleep, Even while the night pales, Even while the light fails, Even while we forgive ourselves— [Coda 2] til the story carries us to rooms we never knew we'd move to cross. to cross. and when the story carries us to rooms we never felt we'd hurt to cross. to cross. [Bridge | harmonized Vocal stacks] House-breath surrounds us. I am matching your footprints Until I can't tell Who owns who And who is the ghost. (who is the ghost.) [Build | Swelling Instrumentation] oh no but still I hope you can feel it, Even while we sleep, Even while the line between light and night bends karma back around— Even while we confront our other selves in our deep diffusion by the sound— [Coda 3 | Climax] and the stories carry us to rooms we never dreamed we'd ever dare to cross. and the stories carry us to rooms we never dreamed we'd ever dare to cross. [Outro | Stripped Down] I fell in love with love while I was asleep. I fell in love with love while I was sleepin'. I fell in love with love while I was sleepily movin' through the dark, Just interference passin' through, and it's true lookin' back, I see now: how even when awake we're at best half-asleep too.| [end]
