lyrics

What's he like? What's he like? What's his name dear?
Did you really have to take him home tonight?
Will I get your letter in the mail saying sorry, I'm sorry
Hey Ryan, are you alright?

What's he like? What's he like? Does he fake it?
Does he lie awake when you sleep in his arms?
Is he my story of a self-made man?
Not keeping up with you, but he does the best he can?

Does he drink, does he smoke til' he passes out?
His cigarette burns deep in the furniture
Does he want more from life than to black out?
We'll don't ask because the truth it hurts.

We you could talk for hours dear, no he won't hear a word.

So we can dance til' our feet bleed
And you can keep in that summer dress
As it makes you feel beautiful, so beautiful
And if you don't want me dear
Well my heart's broken at best
I'll leave your keys on the windowsill
Don't wake me up I'll be sleeping in.

So lets live out on the coast
And let the waves crash down on the love we froze
Jack and Coke, let me take your coat
And we can sleep in the sheets I've sown
Children in the hands of a lesser God we've grown

When the love you thought was liberator cuts to the bone

We can dance til' our feet bleed
And you can keep in that summer dress
As it makes you feel beautiful, so beautiful
And if you don't want me dear
Well my heart's broken at best
I'll leave your keys on the windowsill
Don't wake me up I'll be sleeping in.

Don't wake me up I'll be sleeping in
(keep his dead eyes off me)

What's he like? What's he like? What's his name dear?
Did you really have to take him home tonight?
Will I get your letter in the mail asking 'will I hear from you again?'
No dear

So we can dance til' our feet bleed
And you can keep in that summer dress
As it makes you feel beautiful, so beautiful
I know you don't want me dear
Well that's probably for the best
I'll leave your keys on the windowsill
Don't wake me up I'll be sleeping in.

And if you want we can take this slowly
I'll get you out of this small town story
We'll a life and we'll make it glory
The city can't hold our fire in

Until then I'm sleeping in
