Sleeping States Songtext
von Gregory and the Hawk

I listen to you talk about your whistling band
Ride your bikes to bad racket, climb the ladder and up
On the roof we′re passing pipes like we're good old friends
But I know what I want
And I can′t help feeling it

Turn toward the lake and talk of jumping in
Instead we sit back and imagine
The romance of water on our naked skin
And the first wet steps
And I can't help feeling it

Slate blue eyes
No one ever tries
To win me over
So thanks, even though it's just
A little taste


Slate blue skies
No one ever tries
To stay up later than they want to
Even though it′s heaven
Slipping into sleeping states

I listen as you try to take my breath away
But it′s not what you do, it's what you don′t say
If I never look over, you could never not stay
When the sun comes up
We'll have someone to blame

Slate blue eyes (Listen when you care)
No one ever tries (About them)
To win me over
So thanks, even though it′s just (Listen, when you love)
A little taste (Them)

Slate blue skies (Listen, when you care)
No one ever tries (About them)
To stay up later than they want to
Even though it's heaven
Slipping into sleeping states

Fight it now if you have to
I understand your mistakes
Pretty soon it′ll all blow over and
I'll go back to where I came from


Slate blue eyes (Listen, when you care)
No one ever tries (About them)
To win me over
So thanks, even though it's just (Listen, when you love)
A little taste (Them)

Slate blue skies (Listen, when you care)
No one ever tries (About them)
To stay up later than they want to
Even though it′s heaven
Slipping into sleeping states
