Sleeping Rough Lyrics by Tom Grennan

What Ifs & Maybes (Apple Music Edition)

2023

[Verse 1]
Last night, I went and took a drive
Drove underneath the city lights
They reminded me of singing
"Fireflies," our ears were ringing
In that karaoke bar
When we were dancing under chairs
And toasting to our future years
Oh, I blinked and it went missing
And now all I do is sit and think
And wonder where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of all the "what-ifs" and "maybes"
The curiosity is driving me crazy

[Chorus]
I'm going back to the place where we found us
I'm gonna stay here evеn if the cold gets tough
'Cause I got high, high hopеs that you might show up
And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough
And, yeah, the world will turn and the rain might pour
But that don't change who I will be waiting for
'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up
And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough

[Verse 2]
The runners, yeah, they pass me by
The school run on the nine-to-five
Said, "I've been here for days
I don't care, I'm happy waiting"
If you wanna know why

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of all the "what-ifs" and "maybes"
The curiosity is driving me crazy

[Chorus]
I'm going back to the place where we found us
I'm gonna stay here even if the cold gets tough
'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up
And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough
And, yeah, the world will turn and the rain might pour
But that don't change who I will be waiting for
'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up
And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough

[Post-Chorus]
Sleeping rough

[Bridge]
So if you ever find yourself looking for me
You don't need to call, you'll know where I'll be
Look for the sign in the corner of the street
That's where I'll be, that's where we'll meet

[Chorus]
Back at the place where we found us
I'm gonna stay here even if the cold gets tough
'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up
And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough
Yeah, the world will turn and the rain might pour
But that don't change who I will be waiting for
'Cause I got high, high hopes that you might show up
And until you do, I'll be sleeping rough

[Post-Chorus]
Sleeping rough
