The kids on the corner they're learning the bad trends With their fingers raised to the skies The homeless and hungry they're so short of money But they keep praying for passersby The modern and classy they pretend to be trashy And it puts a grin on my face I live with a lover, his eyes scream "I love her" I love when he sleeps at my place
Oh baby, don't sleep, just yet, just yet. There are things that I've left to tell you, yes, yes.
Oh I could touch forever his islands and treasure But I fear one day this will end I'm livin too quickly says, oh, far too many But aren't they just movin too slow? You say I'm the sun, but to me, you're the one And I dream that one day this won't end I always think of him, I pretty much love him To me, he's the ultimate best
Oh baby, don't sleep, just yet, just yet. There are things I have left to tell you, yes, yes.
Oh baby, don't sleep, just yet, just yet. There are things I have left to tell you, yes...
Baby, baby, baby...
I'll stand behind the curtain I'll end with a closer Here you are Here you are
Pass the button, pass the thread Tapestry tapping your pretty, pretty head Pass the paint, pass the brush Sit there still while I draw you, in a rush You don't see what you do to me You don't see what you do to me
The reeds and the weeds tangle my feet But you are the pulse I follow your beat In the cytoplasm asphyxiation You feed me with your light your rhythms
When you sleep I watch your chest Once you rise with the sun in the west Copy your breathing rhythms so I can be more like you Learn your lucid dreaming so we can both sleep there too
