Sleeping In Your Garden
With the rabbits and the flowers
I hope I never wake up
I don′t think I'll ever wake up
Do you know how oxygen tastes?
All the flowers singing oxygen
How ′bout you open up your window?
If you love me you'd open up your window

I would die for you
And all of the stars align
For you

The sun set in your garden
All the bats are coming out now
All the hedgehogs and the barn owls
All the words I never said out loud

Will you catch me when I'm snoozing?
Will you look for me at all?
Will you look for me at all?
Will you look for me all
These teardrops bruising
Can′t not think of you at all
Can′t not think of you at all
Can't not think of you
At dawn the sunlight moves in
Girl I′m passed out on the lawn
Girl I'm passed out on the lawn
Girl I′m passed out on the lawn

Let me tell you what the truth is
You always win

But i keep losing
Losing
Losing
Losing, babe

I keep losing
Losing
Losing
Losing, babe

I keep losing
Losing
Losing
Losing, babe

I keep losing
Losing
