about

‘All This Time, Asleep’ is based on an argument between myself and a loved one. I forget to think how they might be feeling, and to remember that we’re two people. Throughout the track, I wanted to describe the scene we were in: ‘trying on a new shirt’ was a metaphor used to portray that I want to try this new me out, but it might not fit. At the end of the song, I am lying in the shirt, fully ready to commit and be together. It does fit me…”

lyrics

I’m trying on a new shirt, on our bed
I’m giving up on the idea of being perfect
Oh I’m in a world of my own
But I would never be happy alone

When the sky is blue I’d like to stay indoors
Cause I don’t want to fantasise anymore
Oh I’m romantic, like the movies
My ruthless thoughts won’t get me to sleep

And all those things that I said, never meant to leave my head,
All this time that I’ve spent failing you and looking for somewhere else

When I can’t concentrate, I want to leave the house
I’m messy on the inside, but I tidy my doubt
Oh you’re romantic, you don’t like to regret
You want to sleep but you can’t forget

All those things that I said, never meant to leave my head,
All this time that I’ve spent failing you and looking for myself

I’m lying in my new shirt, on our bed
I’m giving up on trying to be perfect
You’ll be happy to know that I’m free
It’s only you asleep next to me
