We Sleep in Pairs Songtext

von Everything Everything

Each night I lay beneath the earth
I am tired of feeling powerless
With no edge and no reflected light
There is something in the way of us

Don't cry now, all the wheels will turn
They'll be bluebirds over you and I
With black brains they'll come to save our lives
As our flesh becomes electrified

We sleep in pairs
Just waiting

Can you take me away?
Can you stop with the lies?
Are you desperate? Yes, I think I'm desperate.
What's my best bet? On your death bed?
Yes I'm on my last legs.
Then you're desperate.

Blaze on me, bird of paradise
Don't be fearful, don't you close your eyes
Our sister keep the hope alive
We can run before they realise

I'm asking you
To heal me

Can you take me away?
Can you stop with the lies?
Are you desperate? Yes, I think I'm desperate.
What's my best bet? On your death bed?
Yes I'm on my last legs.
Then you're desperate.

Can you take me away?
Can you stop with the lies?
