about

This song was recorded in the closet of Jesse McDaniel's house in Seattle. It was a spontaneous song, one that Jon happened to be strumming on the guitar and Jesse quickly jotted down lyrics to. It was not meant to be on the record at all, but they decided to put it on as a raw cut version of the song. It quickly became one of their favorites.

lyrics

Silent sleeper, sun-dyed living room
Couldn't go back to sleep when his eyes are on you
You're the reason you're always on his mind
Crayons crossing lines with no direction

Relax, don't fidget with your hands
Deep breaths, now hold it in your chest

Sweetheart, love you can
But it is not with a watchful man

Champagne bottle lying on the floor
Didn't want to ask for more so you left it spilling
You're a famous writer, he's a searching kind of man
With a resume in his hands- impressive nothings

Slow down and reason with yourself
Rest assured like a book upon your shelf

Sweetheart, love you can
But it is not with a watchful man

Potential lover, with your coat hanging in his closet
But it don't match like the photo in his wallet
of a quiet smile that only hurts the eyes
You're a silent sleeper, calculated sunrise

Sweetheart, love you can
But it is not with a watchful man

But is not with a watchful man...
