lyrics
I’m sleeping with a broken heart
You seem to be enjoying it
Am I going to beg? I’ve lost you already anyway
I’m sleeping with an open eye at three in the morning
Is it afternoon yet? Or has time even moved on
well, sunrise, you see, I’m in a rush
My brain, it hurts from inside
From wondering “How?”
But the recipe for sleeping lies in not thinking about it
Listen, I can tell you why but you’re not responding
Your indignant stare just sends me off a cliff
Your eyes close as if dimming the lights, in attempts to shut me out
Is it working well? It suddenly feels dark
well, sunrinse, you see, i’m in a rush
my brain it hurts from inside
from wondering “How?”
But the recipe for sleeping lies in not thinking about it
Feels like I may be giving up too soon
But I can’t get myself to get up
I put my arms around you but you just shrug me off
Worried, I recoil in fear of you, but then gather myself with new resolve
With a shudder and a shiver I try once again
You seem to be enjoying it
Am I going to beg? I’ve lost you already anyway
I’m sleeping with an open eye at three in the morning
Is it afternoon yet? Or has time even moved on
well, sunrise, you see, I’m in a rush
My brain, it hurts from inside
From wondering “How?”
But the recipe for sleeping lies in not thinking about it
Listen, I can tell you why but you’re not responding
Your indignant stare just sends me off a cliff
Your eyes close as if dimming the lights, in attempts to shut me out
Is it working well? It suddenly feels dark
well, sunrinse, you see, i’m in a rush
my brain it hurts from inside
from wondering “How?”
But the recipe for sleeping lies in not thinking about it
Feels like I may be giving up too soon
But I can’t get myself to get up
I put my arms around you but you just shrug me off
Worried, I recoil in fear of you, but then gather myself with new resolve
With a shudder and a shiver I try once again

about
Kites San Antonio, Texas
Kites is the brainchild of Singer/Songwriter Chuy Pizana. He had ideas, and then met Walter, who helped him form his ideas into songs. Then Nate came around, and added his beautiful touch of cello, followed by Adriana who lit up the keys. Finally, Austin came to keep time with his drumset, and Kites was formed. ... more
