Back To Sleep
Goliath And The Giants Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come say hello to me
I'll save a seat for you
Smokes fills my breath
Felling has left
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Back to sleep

The city still here for you
I'll wait right here for you
Smokes fills my breath
Felling have left
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Back to sleep

You sit right next to me
But I feel far away
Smoke fills my lungs
Smoke fills my lungs
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Wide awake

Wide awake
Wide awake
