lyrics

Asleep

ask me fifteen questions
and I’ll answer fifteen ‘fines’
it isn’t that I’m hiding
I’m not trying to protect what’s mine
the language of my heart
can’t declare itself out loud
can’t be teased into words
no inner voices that I’ve heard

you won’t know I’m asleep until I wake up
you won’t know I’m honest till I deceive
you won’t know I’m here
until I’m on that train to Boston
you won’t know I’m in love until I leave

time was you implored me
you explored me seeking answers
I evaded you like a dancer
till you gave up on those chances
I peer into a day to come
when you’ll take me for granted
no seeds have been planted
I know I seem bitter ground

you won’t know I’m asleep until I wake up
you won’t know I have faith until I don’t believe
you won’t know I’m here
until I’m on that train to Boston
you won’t know I’m in love until I leave

though I don’t say it I do feel it
and it isn’t something I can change
I feel it all though I don’t say it
the spoken soul is so passing strange

you won’t know I’m asleep until I wake up
you won’t know I don’t care until I grieve
you won’t know I’m here
until I’m on that train to Boston
you won’t know I’m in love

you won’t know I’m asleep until I wake up
you won’t know I’m honest till I deceive
you won’t know I’m here
until I’m on that train to Boston
you won’t know I’m in love until I leave
