I fell asleep at the edge of the yard
With the nightingales and the broken cars
In the hope that you'd find me there someday

And musicians play at a bar across the street
And their lonely patrons all on their feet
But the night don't give up that easy

And somewhere in a desert another bomb fell
And the architects they were giving them hell
In the boat that they sailed in 'til morning

But anytime I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As I hear you breathing next to me

And millions of people keep checking their phones
As a Labrador keeps licking the bone that it hid in the earth five years ago

The director tells the actress to say her lines quick
There ain't no time here to overthink
The world's changed
And it's changing so quickly

And can we build a skyscraper 20 miles thick
And fill it up with all the shit that we bought
At the president's impeachment sale?

But it's alright when I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As the morning creeps in softly

Oh anytime I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As I hear you breathing next to me
