lyrics

You said there’s no need to be strong
Where’s there’s a sleeping soul,
there is a sleeping song
You hold your breath for way too long
Out of breath, it is a sleeping song
Out of breath, here is a sleeping song

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down
Your head down

I guess there’s no need to be strong,
Where there were schoolyard games
I wrote a sleeping song
The cleverest will hold their tongue
Out of breath it is a sleeping song
Out of breath it is a sleeping song

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down
Your head down

You said there’s no
You said there’s no
You said there’s no
You said there’s no need to be strong
You said there’s no (need to be strong)
You said there’s no (need to be strong)
You said there’s no (need to be strong)

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down

I could bring you anywhere
Where you could lay your head down
Your head down
