Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brian Sella, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold] Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you And hang them in my room So when I wake I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's alright" You are still here, you are still happy You are still smiling and laughing You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life [Pre-Chorus: Brian Sella, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold] And it goes in, in, out through the mouth Breathing exercises I will never figure out 'til I am Running in circles or (I am) walking in circles or (I am) Crawling in circles or lying on the ground [Chorus: Brian Sella, Adrienne Gold, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold] And I… Can hear your dog whistle From my bedroom Yeah, yeah And I… (I can see) Can see a flashlight cuttin' (A flash…) Up the trees behind my house (…Light) Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2: Brian Sella, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold] She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people If not every day, then on an every-other-day basis And she's probably with a few of them right now And they are probably just drinking and talking about How she misses getting fucked up and hangin' around And he says "Hey, you're good at that" And she says "Thanks, it's kind of all I got" And then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need" [Pre-Chorus: Brian Sella] And I can smell plastic burning I can smell chemicals breaking down I got your last three emails, the ones where you said "I was sorting some things out" [Chorus: Brian Sella, Adrienne Gold, Brian Sella & Adrienne Gold] And he will be able To hear her dog whistle From his bedroom Yeah, yeah And I… (I can see) Can see a flashlight cuttin' (A flash…) Up the trees behind my house (…Light) Yeah, yeah [Post-Chorus: Brian Sella] And I will read the flashing Like a Morse Code explanation That will mean nothing But take all night to figure out, out, out [Outro: Brian Sella (right), Brian Sella (left), Adrienne Gold] I am sad when I am sad, but when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room There's just no place in between for us to meet So when I wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's alright" When I am sad, I am sad, but when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy You are still here, you are still happy, you are still smiling and laughing There's just no place in between for us to meet You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad but when I'm happy, I am happy Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room I can smell plastic burning; I can smell chemicals breaking down And there's just no place in between for us to meet So when I wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's alright" I got your last three emails, the ones where you said… When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy You are still here, you are still happy, you are still smiling and laughing I can smell plastic burning; I can smell chemicals breaking down And there's just no place in between for us to meet You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life I got your last three emails, the ones where you said…
