Keep On Sleeping
Collin Mcloughlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And take that lonesome ride, far away
Losen up the memories, of what we have
Was it worth it? Was it worth it tonight?
And tell me where you've been now
I can't come along
Tell me what you're seeing now
It's been too long
Of what you're seeing, of what you're seeing tonight
Baby take your time a little bit longer
To let you go and find all that you can take
Far from reality, dreams along and you should keep on sleeping
Keep on sleeping for now
Keep on sleeping for now
Let's rewrite this line, start again
Nothing's by design, we got time to mend
Let's turn back the pages of what we had
Life was easy, oh so easy back then
Tell me where you've been now
I can't come along
Tell me what you need now
It's been to long
And I have lost my view
Of what you're seeing, what you're seeing tonight
Baby take your time a little bit longer
To let you go and find all that you can take
Far from reality, dreams along and you should keep on sleeping
Keep on sleeping for now
Keep on sleeping for now

They talk about the need to start over and rewrite the story of their relationship, perhaps in the hopes of recapturing the ease and simplicity of an earlier time.

Baby close your eyes, and drift away
Close your eyes and let yourself drift away

Losen up the memories, of what we have
Let go of any negative memories we have of our relationship

I can't join you on your journey

And I have lost my view
I don't have a clear understanding of your perspective
Of what you're seeing, of what you're seeing tonight

It's been to long
It's been too long since we've talked about what we need
