Lyrics
He's sleeping in his shoes
He's resting while still ready to move quickly.
And dreaming of the worst
He's imagining the worst possible scenarios.
Living dirty lies
Living with deceitful falsehoods.
Believing in reverse
Believing in things being the opposite of reality.
He'd break into the church
He'd commit a crime to steal from the church.
To burglarize the father
Willing to rob from the religious figure.
Gettin' older by the second
Getting older rapidly, perhaps without noticing.
If seconds even bother
Time passing quickly, maybe without concern.
Oh but the girl
There's a significant person referred to as "the girl."
She comes around
She appears and helps him when he was lost.
he was lost where she found him
(Repetition of the significance of "the girl.")
The girl
(Empty line)
Though she might get to him
Even though she might influence him,
He might never get to
He might never reach or understand her significance.
The girl
(Repetition of the significance of "the girl.")
He hide behind the look
He hides his emotions behind a particular expression.
That's written in the eye
His mood is as low as the falling rain.
He's lower than the rain
Comparing himself to someone without essential support.
Cause it's falling from the sky
He's expecting something improbable to happen.
Like a man without a mother
Feeling abandoned and without choices.
A choice without a chance
Acting without a real chance for a positive outcome.
He's digging up the dead
He's expecting lifeless things to be lively.
Expecting them to dance
(Empty line)
Oh but the girl
-She comes around
(Repetition of the significance of "the girl.")
he was lost where she found him
(Empty line)
The girl
(Reiteration of the importance of "the girl.")
Though she might get to him
While she might impact him,
He might never get to
He might not comprehend her significance or reach her level.
The girl
(Reiteration of the significance of "the girl.")
He's not out of his head but he's much better off than before
He's not in a clear state of mind, but he's improved from before.
He's not out of his head but he's much better off than before
Despite not being fully coherent, he's in a better state than previously.
He's not ready for bed but he's sleeping it off on the floor
He's not prepared for rest but is attempting to sleep despite it.
