about

i should learn by now that if not being able to fall asleep next to someone is a common occurrence, then maybe they're not the someone for me. despite history, despite what i want them to be to me, no matter how gorgeous they look. good god. no matter how like a movie i feel this whole thing is, sleep deprivation makes me crazy and colors life in roses. sleep and move on.

lyrics

why dont we hit rewind
to the first time that i saw you locked eyes with mine
and my jaw dropped to the floor
cause i've never seen a face like yours before
shoulda known back then
we were standing worlds apart
because you even said
that you break a lot of hearts
but i knew that i had you and i let that fire fade

cause you could love me
say you're sorry
and i'd believe
cause the heat of burning next to you
would set me free
how could you love someone and not fall asleep in their arms
i am dreaming of someone i know you can't become

now we're both up north
near a whole year later but my heart's still sore
i've seen your parents house
i've met your childhood friends and i think they're great
trying to keep my cool
cause you're close enough to touch
i wanna be your friend
casually at lunch
but if you keep smiling at me like that
i think i'm gonna die

cause you could love me
say you're sorry
and i'd believe
cause the heat of burning next to you
would set me free
how could you love someone and not fall asleep in their arms
i am dreaming of someone i know you can't become

if i gave you words to say then you'd be perfect
if i made up your excuses you'd be worth it
you're the hero of the story and i'd follow you at will
cause i love the thought of you more than what is real

cause you could love me
say you're sorry and i'd believe
cause i'm burning
to keep you warm
and it's hard to leave
how could you love someone and not fall asleep in their arms
i am dreaming of someone i know you can't become

Eileen Doan Chicago, Illinois

Lately, she’s been carving out her sound, writing sad songs that sound happy, and pondering existence as we know it. She has three EPs and is about to release her first full-length album “Small Love” on August 7th 2020 ... more
