Name: Sleeping In [Space]
Duration: P00H04M20S
Description: We released the original version of this song on our EP, The Noise Around the Mean. The warm, upbeat original was a live favourite, but we always had an alternate, more unsettling vision of the song we pursued. Now the song begins with a cold, foreboding, wintery atmosphere, before it warms up and explodes into spring. We hope you enjoy this winter treat!

lyrics

Curtains closed and shades drawn. Morning light is bleeding through, breaking in over you. Jumbled dreams are fading. Mumbled thoughts are breaking through. Waking up next to you. Breathing softly on me. Electric contact, skin to skin. Bleed my heart into you. Whisper, “time to wake up.” Mouthing words against your cheek. Waking up next to you. Sleeping in is all I want to do. Blankets drawn up tightly, wrapped around me to stay warm, reaching arms out for you. Empty space accuses. All these moments fade from view waking up next to you. Sleeping in is all I want to do, waking up next to you.
