Girl Laying Down - Anna Ternheim

I know a girl laying down

She’s sleeping weeks at a time

When she wakes up she watches tv,

counting cracks in the ceiling.

No I don’t know what she’s thinking,

so I gave up waiting for someone waiting,

talking to someone staring.

I never come around

I never come around

I left her for 15 years behind

girls laying down

never come around

So much for girls staying in,

afraid of being needed and seen,

she watches the world on a screen

she’s distant

God knows I’ve tried to leave her

Cause she’s got a constant fever

I let it slip my mind

I never come around

I never come around

I left her 15 years behind

Girls laying down

Never come around

I know a girl laying down

No, I never waisted my time

We have something in common

She’s as indifferent as I am.
