She Lays Down
THE 1975 · I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It 2016 · Track 16 of 17
Written by Adam Hann, George Daniel, Matthew Healy, Ross MacDonald · Lyrics: Matthew Healy
And she lays down on her bedroom floor The chemicals that make her laugh Don't seem to be working anymore She tries her best, but it hurts her chest And even though her son is gone She'd like to love her child nevertheless
My hair is brown, she's scared to touch And she just wants to feel something And I don't think that's asking for too much And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep
She's appalled by not loving me at all She wears a frown and dressing gown When she lays down
Well we got a plane, going to see my dad again She prayed that we fell from the sky Simply to alleviate the pain Over the water, hmm Over terrain The engines all go bust, we turned to dust And I've no reason to complain, yeah And in the end, she chose cocaine But it couldn't fix her brain
She's appalled oh she doesn't love me at all She wears a frown and dressing gown When she lays down
That was it
