The 1975 — I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it lyrics

Lyrics

I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful — yet so unaware of it
I like it when you sleep, for I can go outside alone amongst the due and feel
at last one with you
I like it when you sleep, for it is where the worries meet with all desires
complex and small that materialise upon your wall
I like it when you sleep, for smoking is great and I do a lot more without you
awake
I like it when you sleep, for the things missed too and to know I’m alive
longer than you
I like it when you sleep, for the infinite sadness of London and loss and the
fold out matress
I like it when you sleep, for the reasons I can’t so I jealously squirm and
count moles on your arm
I like it when you sleep, forgive me my dear for all the cocaine has imprisoned
me here
I like it when you sleep, for I’m guilty of work and match of the day and the
girls that twerk
I like it when you sleep, for my return after weeks is an incomplete feeling
when you are not dreaming
I like it when you sleep, for during the day your breath lacks character
I like it when you sleep, for I swear I’ll protect her from the wheedling,
redolent, saccharine nectar
I like it when you sleep, for there are cracks in my ceiling that I know like
the back of my heart — and to learn of your body in half of that manner was
something desired from the start
I like it when you sleep, forbidden I sit in my chair for a bit
I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful — yet so unaware of it
