Sleeping with Sirens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
As I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here
How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be okay
The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know I'll be okay
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay forever with me

Hi! My name is Jalen. I wanted to write y'all an appreciation letter. I'm sure you get thousands of letters and emails talking about how your music has saved someone's life. While that's true for me- your music helped me through some really rough times - it's also been there for all of the best times of my life. I can genuinely say that because of Sleeping With Sirens, I get to marry my best friend on 2/26/24. Really. Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Y'all have played such an important role in me and my fiance's relationship that we're planning our first dance to Scene One: James Dean and Audrey Hepburn. It'll be the song I walk down the aisle to. And I'm even planning to surprise my fiance with a special performance to (the electric) If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn.
The impact you've had on our lives is monumental. You're the reason we really even started talking. I'll try to put this in a nutshell because I'm sure yall are busy. The first night we hung out, a friend introduced us. She didn't listen to much rock music, so while she was with us, I skipped through a lot of my playlist. When I dropped her off, I immediately looked to Mark, my (now) fiancé, and said, "I'm sorry if you don't listen to this kind of music, but I love this song" and cranked up the volume on the song If You Can't Hang. I will never forget the look of shock on his face - I thought he was going to tell me to turn it off- but then he proceeded to say, "You listen to Sleeping With Sirens? They're my favorite band!"
From then on, we've basically been inseparable. We became best friends immediately and started dating pretty soon after that. In the course of our relationship, I think we've seen yall live 3 times! And we even met once - it was July 2019 in Phoenix, AZ at a signing, but i know yall also met thousands of other crying fans that day, so i probably blended in with the mix. It was bad. I really broke down sobbing after yall signed my poster. I so desperately wanted to tell you guys that you're the reason i met the love of my life, but I was crying so hard I couldn't even get words out. It was so quick, but it meant so much to me.
Music and concerts play a huge role in our relationship. It's awesome because now I have a built-in concert buddy! We even debated getting married at the courthouse, so we could use the extra money to go to concerts!
We're really big fans of you guys. Every time I've heard you play James Dean and Audrey Hepburn live, I just sobbed my eyes out. If we're being honest, every time it plays on my phone, I cry too. It's kind of embarrassing at this point - joking. It just really means so much to me and Mark. I wish there was such a thing as personal concerts - I would probably explode from all the excitement.
It really is the perfect song song for our relationship. "I can't promise that things won't be broken, but I swear that I will never leave" is probably even going to be written into my vows. I'm genuinely happy to have it included in our wedding in any/every way.
So all of this is to say THANK YOU. Thank you for creating music that creates connections and love. Thank you for introducing me to my best friend! Thank you for the concerts you've done that we've gotten to experience. Thank you for being a part of our big day.
Thank you for everything.
With love and gratitude, Jalen
