While you were sleeping I’d get up and leave for work
I’d write a good-morning note to leave for you
I’d throw on the first clothes I found in there
I’d gulp down bread with butter and a passion-fruit juice
I’d shower with no you there to mess it up
I’d lie back one more minute to ease the longing
I’d give you a light kiss on the face so you wouldn’t wake up
And say I love you without you being able to hear
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
You can dream, ’cause I know dreaming feels good
I’ll give you a reason to dream too
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
I’d think of you a bit alone at the bus stop
I got in, spun the turnstile and sat in the back
Headphones on, bumping only my badass raps
Some other girl stared and I didn’t even pay attention
I reached my job already wanting to leave
Your scent on my clothes but you weren’t there
I opened the drawer that made me smile because
There was a photo I took while watching you sleep
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
You can dream, ’cause I know dreaming feels good
I’ll give you a reason to dream too
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
I clocked out, left, happiness in my eyes
I stopped and bought the prettiest flower to please you
I loaded fifteen in credit and turned on the cell
To see if you’d gotten off work and were making dinner
I burst into the house and threw you on the couch
Made love to you till my legs went weak
I hugged you, gave you my lap to cuddle you
And told you how much I love you till I watched your eyes close
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
You can dream, ’cause I know dreaming feels good
I’ll give you a reason to dream too
Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well
