When You Sleep Lyrics

When you flood in front the other
Keep breathing just like they taught you
You politely asked to take a walk with me
I would've married you there underneath the tree
Is it real this thing?
Is it real this thing?
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum When You Sleep
Will it be with me?
When you sleep will it be with me?

I swore I saw you in my dream
All dressed in white, and white smile
You politely asked to take a walk with me
And I married you there underneath the tree
Can you feel the beat in my heartbeat beat through me?
Can you feel the beat in my heartbeat beat through?
I could make you happy, I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum when you sleep
Will it be with me?
When you sleep will it be with me?

How did I miss you when I didn't know you?
Oooh
How did I miss you when I didn't know you?
Oooh
How did I miss you when I didn't know you?
Oooh
I could make you happy, I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
I could be your love song
I could be long gone
I could be a ghost in your eardrum
I could make you happy
I could make you love me
I could disappear completely
Be with me, when you sleep
Be with me

When You Sleep Song Chart

Lambert wrote this song by herself the day after she met her partner. She explained to American Songwriter magazine: "It's about that moment when you've found your person, that person that makes you feel like you've been holding your breath your whole life, and you've finally had your first real deep breath. And you sort of fabricated this feeling in your head over and over with all these relationships, so do you trust yourself that this is really the real thing? Could it possibly be that person? And it totally is. It could still go either way, and you hope they feel the same way."

Lambert explained the lyric: "I can be a ghost in your eardrum when you sleep:" "I think it's that feeling when someone gets stuck in your memory," she said. "And you can still hear that person, though they're not talking. That's what that feeling is."
