While You Were Sleeping Lyrics by Junie

No Man’s Dog

2020

While you were sleeping
I snuck out the door
I paid no mind
To the creaks in the floor

And you never said it
But I know it is true
If you sleep past the sunrise
The days end too soon

And while you were sleeping
I watched a butterfly die
It hit the glass
Before it even learned to fly

And you never said it
But I knew what you meant
A life spent searching
Is not a life well spent

Well I found what you were looking for
Too little, and too late
Do you think I was born for something?
Or just an added burden to the plate?

While you were sleeping
I took to the sea
And I saw my reflection
And the wind sang to me

And though you never said it
I heard the wind as it spoke
“You must give yourself to something
You must breathe until you choke.”

So while you were sleeping
I whispered in your ear
“We both will live forever
Sleep now, stop your tears
