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.
