Born Asleep Lyrics

I started walking and I found myself standing on your front porch again
Went through the window of the empty house and I was standing where we used to stand
Cheap candles burning on wax stained carpets, from when we tried to sip champagne
You never liked it so you’d spit it out and we’d sit and listen to the rain

But now you’re gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Looking blue in the end

Imagine meadows of egg white poppies as I led you on walking blind
You turned to me asking how much longer so I handed you a dandelion
You blew the seeds waiting patiently, till the moment stopped and slowly died
Shadows casting as you turn your back this could be our last goodbye

But now you’re gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Looking blue in the end
But now you’re gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Looking blue in the end

I remember when you cut your lip sippin’ on a soda can
And the time when you fell and tripped, screamin' at the ice cream man
I turned so red when you busted your head, tried to cover up my crooked smile
I was only teasing then you stopped breathing
Now you won’t be going home tonight

But now you’re gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Looking blue in the end
But now you’re gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Looking blue in the end

Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home
Ain't comin' home tonight (I ain't comin' home)
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight (I ain't comin' home)
Ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home
