Lyrics Jesca Hoop - When I'm Asleep

when im asleep
you gotta bring the bread to the table
you gotta bring the bread on home
so you dance for the rain and the sun and the wind
and you pray for your crops to grow
and every morning till sundown
you work your hands to the bone
you keep your head high and your eyes wide
diamond in your mind and you bring the bread home

but when im asleep
when im asleep
im not anyone
you’re not anywhere
when im asleep
when im asleep
im not anyone
you’re not anywhere

and you know i gotta win your heart babe
you know i gotta win your love
so i promise the moon and the stars and the sea
and i pray to the stars above
with every beat my hearts skipping
you’ll know what im made of
i keep light on and the bed warm
shelter from the storm and im keepin our love

but when im asleep
when im asleep
Im not anyone
you’re not anywhere
when im asleep
when im asleep
Im not anyone
Your not anywhere
and my mouth
doesn’t talk back to me
and my plans don’t have to be
and my back doesn’t feel gravity
and my dreams
go back to sleep

and you know i gotta make it to heaven
i know i gotta save my soul
so marry the lord and i drink from the scars
and i swear off my worldly ways
and every second a baby
is born through his mothers bones
and torn from grace
gotta find your faith
or the devils gonna claim your soul
