Story Behind The Song
Love for my sister.
Song Description
She don't want to sleep. If its just partially. And she don't want to be here if she's not. Or just a shell to see, but needs her room to breathe. Doctor take away the tears but dont ya please. Don't let her leave half heartedly. No She don't want to sleep. If its just partially. And she don't want to be here if she's not. Or just a shell to see, but needs her room to breathe. The world may never know, what she's seen but she could show, that we are here and were not alone.

Lyrics
She never smiles when she's sober. It's never genuine at least. She's got a close little circle, of friends she barely ever leaves. Because she knows they'll never hurt her. And last night I was Brooklyn bound before, she changed my mind.
She put her hand inside her pocket. She wrapped one right around my sleeve. We wondered out into the distance. The smell of smoke and city streets. And side walks, street lights unfold in front of me.
She don't want to sleep. If its just partially. And she don't want to be here if she's not. Or just a shell to see, but needs her room to breathe. Doctor take away the tears but dont ya please. Don't let her leave half heartedly
She never smiles when she's sober. It's never genuine at least. If I knew a way I could have shown her. But that night we were falling over our own feet.
She don't want to sleep. If its just partially. And she don't want to be here if she's not. Or just a shell to see, but needs her room to breathe. Doctor take away the tears but dont ya please. Don't let her leave half heartedly
She never smiles when she's sober. At least she never shows her teeth.
She don't want to sleep. If its just partially. And she don't want to be here if she's not. Or just a shell to see, but needs her room to breathe. Doctor take away the tears but dont ya please. Don't let her leave half heartedly. No She don't want to sleep. If its just partially. And she don't want to be here if she's not. Or just a shell to see, but needs her room to breathe. The world may never know, what she's seen but she could show, that we are here and were not alone.
