We're Fine - Sleeping Lion

You keep saying always

But baby that’s a long time

To be pacing ‘round the house

In the middle of the night

Saying «we're fine, we’re fine»

The first time you stayed at my house in New York, yeah you woke me up

Caught in a panic that when you left for Paris we’d be breaking up

And you’re crying and asking if maybe we’d make it

And stay together after you left

While I’m doing time-zone math in my head

And whispering under my breath

You keep saying always

But baby that’s a long time

To be pacing ‘round the house

In the middle of the night

Saying «we're fine, we’re fine»

I keep repeating mistakes like they’re new for me to make

(You knew I was a snake)

Moved in with someone, but fell far too slowly for her to feel we could be safe

So she’s saying she’s happy but scared that at any one

Minute I might change my mind

And I’m lying there with her

Just tryna convince her

Her fears aren’t justified

But she replies:

You keep saying always

But baby that’s a long time

To be pacing ‘round the house

In the middle of the night

Saying «we're fine, we’re fine»

And I know right now

I wouldn’t mind waiting around

But we both had our lives to live

And we knew what we could live without

And I think right now

I wouldn’t mind waiting around

But we both have our lives to live

And we learned what we could live without
