Vanish in Our Sleep Lyrics

If i could take you away
To a better day
Oh how our love would turn out okay
And if you'll just listen to me
We could vanish in our sleep
And together just you and me

Well
If they could undestand
The position they put us in
If we can only be real
About the way that we feel
Then we could fly away
To another time and space
We could love, we could love love
In our own rejected way

If I could just do to you
All of good things to do
We could squeeze the very juice
Out of love
And if that ain't enough
I'll set a fire to your funky stuff
Woman, I'll put the fire out
With more love
Well
Daddy's got a real need for you

I know you got a thing for me, too
Wherever, whoever or whatever
We gotta do what we got do
We gonna keep on truckin'
We ain't just standin' on the verge
We gonna give love all we can muster
Everytime we get the urge

I'd like to tell the world to go
If they don't like our show
I'd like to kiss this old world goodbye
And if you'll just listen to me
We could vanish in our sleep
And together just you and me

Hang around, baby. I got more to say. Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby that's right. Yeah, baby

Well, well, well, well

Yeah, baby. Feels so good. Oh baby, you just make me feel soserious. And I used to be a pratical joker. Oh yeah, baby. Oh yeah, oh yeah, baby. Yeah

If I could just do to you
All of good things to do
We could squeeze the very juice
Out of love
And if that ain't enough
I'll set a fire to your funky stuff
Woman, I'll put the fire out
With more love
If I could take you away
To a better day
Oh how our love would turn out okay
And if you'll just listen to me
We could vanish in our sleep
And together just you and me
Yeah baby. Easy now, easy. That's right, baby. Hey, what's happenm', now. You and me can all together, baby, a the same time

We belong together, baby. You're like music to my ears. You're like water on a desert, baby, and I'm so thirsty for you. Give it here, it's mine, give it here. Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby. Yeah, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
