What Do I Do Now
Sleeper Lyrics

Quickly she came, dressed up for fame,
She arrived swiftly, dressed to impress in hopes of gaining attention and success.

Riding her perfume downstairs.
Her strong perfume wafted as she descended the stairs.

Make-up like glue, she danced 'round the room,
Her makeup was caked on and she danced energetically around the room.

To the sound of the corduroy flares.
She danced to the music of someone wearing corduroy pants.

Let's go to town, taxis all round,
She suggested they leave and take a taxi to go out on the town.

We could stop for a couple of beers.
She proposed they take a break and have a couple of beers.

He looks at it all, stifles a yawn,
He observed everything but hid a yawn from boredom.

She tries not to look like she cares.
She attempted to not look like she was too invested in the situation.

What do I do now?
She's unsure of how to proceed given the circumstances.

Are we going under?
Is our relationship failing or coming to an end?

What did I do wrong?
She's unclear about what she did that caused her current situation.

I thought we had it sorted Out the other day
She previously thought that everything had been resolved.

Maybe I'm just stupid
She wonders if she's being foolish for her current feelings and thoughts.

Can't we try again?
She hopes they can have another try at the relationship.

No-one told me it was raining.
She feels caught off guard by the problems and issues in the relationship.

Can't face a club,
They chose not to go to a club for the night out.

They walk to a nearby pub,
They chose instead to walk to a nearby pub.

Watch a couple of bands.
They watched a couple of bands play music.

Draining the glass, they walk home at last,
After finishing their drinks, they walked home together.

Reaching for each other's hands.
As they walked home, they held hands.

Nothing is said, he goes to bed.
After getting back, nothing was said and he went to bed.

Dreaming of her on his own.
He fell asleep and dreamt of her while she stayed awake watching him.

She stays up all week, watching him sleep,
Over time, she stayed awake and continued to watch him sleep.

Scared that she'll wake up alone.
She feared waking up without him by her side.

I'll miss you every day of your life
She anticipates missing him every day.

And oh, you'll feel it too, You're not that strong, You know I'm onto you.
She believes he will also miss her despite putting up a strong front.

And maybe when you're dead, I'll get some rest, From holding onto you.
She wonders if maybe she'll receive relief from the burden of holding onto their relationship if he passes away.

Is there someone else?
She questions if there's someone else in his life.

Or am I too familiar?
Could it be that she's become too predictable and boring for him?

Was it when I said I wanted to have children?
She wonders if her desire to have children is what caused the relationship to deteriorate.

Tore up all your photos, Didn't feel too clever, Spent the whole of Sunday Sticking you together.
She had a moment of distress where she tore up his photos, but then realized she regretted her actions and spent the entire day sticking them back together.

Now I'd like to call you, But I feel too awkward.
She's not sure if she should contact him and if it would be too awkward.

Some things need explaining, No-one told me it was raining.
There are unresolved issues that need to be addressed, but she was not prepared for them.
