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 leftThis is me coming back to get youI have to say goodbye to make amendsI'm not leaving this placeUnless I'm leaving with youYou're the only person with a half decent heartAnd I know you will put it to useUntil it's gone, gone, goneGone, gone, goneGone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeahNa, na, na...Well as you close your eyes for the big sleepI hope you think of me, yeahNa, na, na...And if you go, I'll be goneAnd you'll be left alone to live your life as you pleaseBut someday you'll agree that I was always meant for youAnd you were always meant for me and you will see that you're impossibleYou're impossibleYou're impossibleYou're impossibleMe and Mr. Dylan on the ride homeWe had a heart to heart about lifeBut neither him or me could decide for ourselvesIf we wanted to outlive that nightLike two children on the playground of the unconfessed soulsAbandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foesIf only we were brave enough to live the lives we stoleWhat a wonderful world this could beNa, na, na...Well as you close your eyes for the big sleepI hope you think of me, yeahNa, na, na...And if you go, I'll be goneAnd you'll be left alone to live your life as you pleaseBut someday you'll agree that I was always meant for youYou were always meant for me and you will see that you're impossibleYou're impossibleYou're impossibleYou're impossibleSo how many more examples until we break?How many sacrifices must we make?'Cause we've all been there once beforeAnd it looks like we've returned once moreIs this the beginning or the end?The last two soldiers on the battlefieldSurvivors of the warThey aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord"if you're listening, I'm missing himSo somehow bring him homeHow did it come to this?"So the soldiers lift their rifles andThey're aiming at the headThey think of their first love before they take their final breathsAnd somewhere in the distanceThey hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?"Well as you close your eyes for the big sleepI hope you think of me, yeahNa, na, na...Well as you close your eyes for the big sleepI hope you think of me, yeahNa, na, na...
