lyrics
When We Were Sleeping
I want light, I want love, I want the fear of falling over taken from my hands.
I want days, I want hours, I want a night that’s never over,
do you understand?
Moments are there to take you away.
Times we can share, I want to stay.
When we were sleeping it all became clear.
Here I am this is me as still as a dead man beside you.
Then your skin reached my skin and for a second it felt like you crawled in.
These moments we share they do not compare.
For what I’m feeling now I could not prepare.
When we were sleeping it all became clear.
When we were sleeping you took away my fear.
I searched for years telling everyone I meet all about you.
I had so many important things to do, then I met you.
Now all I have is you, now all I want is you.
I want light, I want love, I want the fear of falling over taken from my hands.
I want days, I want hours, I want a night that’s never over,
do you understand?
Moments are there to take you away.
Times we can share, I want to stay.
When we were sleeping it all became clear.
Here I am this is me as still as a dead man beside you.
Then your skin reached my skin and for a second it felt like you crawled in.
These moments we share they do not compare.
For what I’m feeling now I could not prepare.
When we were sleeping it all became clear.
When we were sleeping you took away my fear.
I searched for years telling everyone I meet all about you.
I had so many important things to do, then I met you.
Now all I have is you, now all I want is you.
