Lyrics
I saw you sleeping on the floor; there are some things you know I can't ignore
I'm sure I had something to say, but I went back outside anyway
You never lose, you never lose; if you never try to win
And you never have to worry if you don't believe in sin
I saw you doing that old dance; you are the one the only in a trance
You kept on dancing as I left; I signed my name and then I failed the test
You never could, you never could; if you ever thought you can
And you never have to simplify if you never make a plan
She was covered in layers, covered in layers of this life
Don't you do her no favors; if you can just hold her tight
She was somebody's neighbor; now she's just someone who sleeps at night
She was covered in layers, layers of this life
I am covered in layers, covered in layers of this life
Don't you do me no favors, if you cannot hold me tight
I am somebody's neighbor; or I'm just someone who sleeps at night
I am covered in layers, layers of this life
I saw you laughing in my head; slipping from the floor back to the bed
You touched my face I held you in my arms; then it all faded with the sound of my alarm
I guess it's good, I guess it's good that I'm out here on my own
Cause you may not get it right before you get it wrong
