Streetlight Manifesto - The Big Sleep lyrics
[Streetlight Manifesto - The Big Sleep lyrics]
Why do you cry when you
Know how the story ends?
How can you laugh when you know
That it hurts your friends?
We've all been there once but you never left
This is me coming back, to get you out
To say goodbye, to make amends
I'm not leaving this place unless
I'm leaving with you
You're the only person with a
Half decent heart here
And I know you will put it to use
Until it's gone, gone, gone gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah na na na
Na na na na na na
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me na na na na na na
Na na na
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live
Your life, as you please
But someday you'll agree
That I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me
And you will see that you're impossible
You're impossible, you're impossible
You're impossible
Me and Mr dylan on the ride home
We had a heart to heart about life
But neither him or me
Could decide for ourselves
If we wanted to outlive that night
Like two children on the playground
Of the unconfessed souls
Abandoned by our mothers and our
Lovers and our foes
If only we were brave enough to
Live the lives we stole
What a wonderful world this could be
Na na na na na na na na na
And as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me na na na na na na
Na na na
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live
Your life, as you please
But someday you'll agree
That I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me
And you will see that you're impossible
You're impossible, you're impossible
You're impossible
So how many more examples until we break?
So how many sacrifices must we make?
Because we've all been there once before
And it looks like we've returned once more
Is this the beginning or the end?
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
Survivors of the war
They aim at one another while
Their mothers beg the Lord
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
So somehow bring him home
How did it come to this?"
So the soldiers lift their rifles
They're aiming at the head
They think of their first love before
They take their final breaths
And somewhere in the distance they
Hear something someone said
"How did it come to this?"
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na na na na na na na na na
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me na na na na na na
Na na na
