Sleeping Cranes
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I fell asleep outside your bedroom door
2
Opposite blankets on your bedroom floor
3
That you'd stuffed under gaps to fight the creeping cold
4
You slipped folded letters through a keyhole
5
And I'd decipher your cursive and your capitals
6
So I could polarize and steal sentiment from song
7
You fell asleep beside your open book
8
Where love is a cliche and a redundant hook
9
But your dreams are still wrapped around it, anyway
10
You placed your head upon your pillowcase
11
Slipped into dreams that I can't seem to face
12
Sleeping carefully, praying you won't wake alone
13
I paced up and down your staircase
14
And whittled all the words you didn't say
15
Into little anchors, just enough to drag me down
16
They say we draw our destinies with our own hands
17
But really our pencils never move the way we plan
18
So we just hope to end with something we can love
19
The peeking sun found me at your doorway
20
Gave me a blanket and sent me on my way
21
And I knocked once more to be sure everything was alright
22
You pushed a crinkled paper through the keyhole
23
That said "We can't be certain that the door will always be closed"
24
I dropped the blanket and laid back down on the floor
