REM Sleep

from When I Leave by INKA

/

lyrics

you’re not special at all
you’re not special at all
you’re kinda thick in the middle
and you’re not even that tall

we hardly talk day to day
and when we do its ok
the words you say they’re not precious
no they’re not memorable

but i had a dream
we made out in the gym
yeah you turned off the lights
and put your hands on my thighs
and i started to feel
like this was something i wanted

and then i woke up
what the fuck

i wanna look up your sign
see if the stars make me like you
just give me the tiniest clue
why I’m closing my eyes

yeah and i had a dream
that you took off your shirt
and it wasn’t that great
but my mind made it work
and you turned off the lights
put your face next to mine

and then i woke up
what the fuck

so when i see you today
when I’m out by my locker
I’m gonna make my lips pucker
and see if you turn your head

maybe its better instead
if i just go by unnoticed
make no intention to close this
and save the dreams for my bed

but every night
when I’m slipping under
into REM sleep
fingertips on your number
thinking bout the last time
that we both said hi
quietly and then passed
without more than a smile
yeah i’m starting to feel
this is something i want now
this is something i need now
this is something i crave
then i start with a wake
in the brightness of day
and i turn to get up
what the fuck
