SLEEPOVER

keep a watchful eye
don’t leave us alone
if you don’t want me in your house say the word
and i will go back home

hurt the one
you call your own
cause you’re scared that she will tell you
what you already know

and i sleep with the door open
let the like come through the cracks
illuminating hardwood floors
where i lay on my back
you’re standing in the doorway
but i’m not a threat to you
your daughter’s sleeping softly
in her childhood bedroom

stay up late
to listen in
i know you must be curious
bout what we’re whispering

she’s singing songs
she kept within
she’s reciting the lyrics
like she’s confessing to her sins

and she sleep with the door open
let the like come through the cracks
illuminating hardwood floors
where i lay on my back
you’re standing in the doorway
but i’m not a threat to you
your daughter’s sleeping softly
in her childhood bedroom

what did you expect
and how will you treat me
in the morning at breakfast
how will you greet me

so we sleep with the door open
let the like come through the cracks
illuminating hardwood floors
where i lay on my back
you’re standing in the doorway
but i’m not a threat to you
your daughter’s sleeping softly
in her childhood bedroom
