While You Were Asleep lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the shallowest part of the night
While you quietly slept
I lay here and I counted the hours
To the sound of your breath

[Chorus]
Can't you love me?
Can't you love me?
How I want, please
How I want

[Verse 2]
I went walking down on Second Street
Through the leaves and the clutter
In the pale yellow sodium light
Nothing has any color

[Chorus]
Can't you love me?
Can't you love me?
How I want, please
How I want

[Outro]
Can't you love me?
Can't you love me?
How I want, please
How I want
