While You Were Sleeping Lyrics


I still can’t believe
That you noticed me
An ocean away
The heavens would say
It was meant to be

I’ll never forget
The first time I saw you then
Primrose at three
You had all of me
Without saying a word

I don’t recognize myself
I’m dancing down streets, smiling to strangers
Idiotic things
I trace it all back, 3:30 AM
That night something turned in my heart
While you were sleeping, I fell in love

I can’t quite believe
You think I’m beautiful
Must be a trick
A tag and you’re it
Kind of foolery

Then you take my hand
Kiss me on the cheek
A light-pink bouquet
A promise you’ll stay
And I start to believe

I don’t recognize myself
I’m writing a love song. Who’ve I become?
There must be something wrong
I trace it all back, 3:30 AM
That night something turned in my heart
While you were sleeping, I fell in love
