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."

Ribcage Lyrics

Living in the darkness
I wear it like a crown
Oh I've got tough skin
Ready for my bow
All I've got is two hands
I tied them in the middle
Ready for the red tape
To open up my ribcage

I offer souvenirs
A deaf tongue and blinded ears
Can you fill the shelves in here
Come in come in

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page
Open up my ribcage

Want you to want me like I'm all you got
Mama see's seeing it but can't make me stop
Telling the truth it might mean you get broken
But letting it hurt that's my method of coping
Doubt in season like that smoke in my lungs
What they project on me what I've become
Down on my knees unsure what to say
No I never learned how to prey
Don't know, know who I been fooling
But you got me running in circles I'm ruined
Let you inside opened up all my wounds
Taking my Ribcage and ripped it in two

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page
Open up my ribcage

Tie off all my tendons
Watch how they stretch
Oh I've got the muscle
But lord, I'm spent
Knocking down my sternum
Began at a young age
Too much space between
Open up my ribcage

I offer souvenirs
A deaf tongue and blinded ears
Can you fill the shelves in here
Come in come in

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page
Open up my ribcage

There's impenetrable silence inside of my head
There's nothing I can buy when I'm practically dead
I get so tired of writing everything I should have said
That maybe this time I'll put my pen down and just tell you instead
You see I opened up my ribcage and violins flew out
The organs softly played through my violin mouth
I got lights hotter than love hidden beneath my tongue
Written on my skin
It tells me your the one

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page
Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage

Lambert explained the inspration for the song to Billboard magazine: "It's about the downside of vulnerability, the detriment to people feeling entitled of your story," she said. "I got asked during the week of the Grammys about how I got through my rape in the same breath as what Madonna wore, and it was on live television. I was like, 'This is so unkind.' I was also introspectively saying, 'OK, I've talked openly about this, this is in my bio. Did I bring this on myself? Did I do this?' Because this is the nature of the business, I'm not gonna f---ing take this lying down."

"Maybe part of my job in this setting is to be somewhat of an educator, Lambert continued. "I'm like, 'OK, I can do that.' I was going to be a teacher. I was applying to graduate school when I got the call to do 'Same Love,' actually. I was gonna go to Boston University for my masters in teaching. I live in Massachusetts now, so it feels halfway there."

The song features verses from Angel Haze and K. Flay and is the only track on Heart On My Sleeve to feature guest rappers.
