Falling Asleep on a Stranger
Pierce The Veil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black on constellations gold
And you know that your soul's
Black top under lacing won't let it go
It was all for you
All for you and more
She won't chase him anymore
To the end
Never leave
Fall asleep on the first I face
And they say
Play the game
You and me found love
Lost under the shade
Well you know I'm a ghost
Pull the note out of my throat
And leave me alone
But it's all for you
All for you and more
He won't take her anymore
To the end
Never leave
Fall asleep on the first I face
And they say
Play the game
You and me found love
Lost under the shade
Come back to my heart tonight
I don't care
Come back tonight

Well you know that I'm cold
I am distant and unfeeling
Black on constellations gold
Even among the stars and greatness, I remain dark and aloof
And you know that your soul's
You are aware that deep down inside
Black top under lacing won't let it go
You are held back by your past and its painful memories
It was all for you
Everything I did was for your sake
All for you and more
I gave more than you ever deserved
She won't chase him anymore
She is done seeking his approval and attention
To the end
Until the very last moment
Never leave
I will always be here for you
Fall asleep on the first I face
I am willing to trust and be vulnerable with anyone who shows me kindness
And they say
People often advise
Play the game
To fake interest and get ahead
You and me found love
We discovered something beautiful together
Lost under the shade
Hidden away from the world
Well you know I'm a ghost
I am a mere shadow of my former self
Pull the note out of my throat
Let me express what is inside me
And leave me alone
Abandon me to my solitude
But it's all for you
Regardless of my pain, I am doing this for you
He won't take her anymore
He has moved on and won't hurt her again
Come back to my heart tonight
Return to me, restore what was lost
I don't care
Nothing else matters but us
Come back tonight
Don't make me wait any longer

Bueno, sabes que tengo frío
Negro sobre constelaciones oro
Y sabes que tu alma es
La parte superior negra bajo cordones no lo dejará ir
Todo fue para ti
Todo para ti y más
Ella ya no lo perseguirá
Hasta el final
Nunca te vayas
Dormirme en la primera cara
Y dicen
Juega el juego
Tú y yo hemos encontrado el amor
Perdido bajo la sombra
Bueno, sabes que soy un fantasma
Saca la nota de mi garganta
Y déjame en paz
Pero es todo para ti
Todo para ti y más
Ya no se la llevará
Hasta el final
Nunca te vayas
Dormirme en la primera cara
Y dicen
Juega el juego
Tú y yo hemos encontrado el amor
Perdido bajo la sombra
Vuelve a mi corazón esta noche
No me importa
Vuelve esta noche
