Now She Sleeps Beside Me (mmeadows Remix)

[Verse 1]
Now she sleeps beside me
In a lush four poster castle
We were taking turns exhaling
Two exhausted bodies flailing
Just a minute before this moment
Now I cannot bear the thought of going home

[Verse 2]
Now she sleeps beside me
I'm a visitor as of lately
We were in a poem, darkly lit
In a secret that we couldn’t quit
A minute before this moment
Now I wonder if she'll ever let me stay

[Verse 3]
Now she sleeps beside me
A dark night of stolen glances
We were blending with our alibis
And hoping we won't need them
I just wonder if I’ll get beyond
A mere minute before this moment's also gone

[Verse 4]
Now she sleeps beside me
We have drifted off a dozen times
To the edge of fantasising
When she wakes up we are fated to
Become dream lovers of the past
Or embrace the fire and rise up from the ash

[Verse 5]
Now she sleeps beside me
A pale flamethrower in hiding
I'm a new man every time we meet
I skip home, sunrise at my feet
Our virtue is to be discreet
Though we know each moment inches toward defeat

[Outro]
The unfinished poem whispered in our sleep
