Sleeping With Sirens es una banda estadounidense de post-hardcore que se formó en 2009 en Orlando, Florida. La banda fue creada por miembros de For All We Know, Broadway, y Paddock Park. Desde su inicio, el grupo ha estado activo en la escena musical con una energía y dinamismo que los ha distinguido de otros en su género.
La formación original de la banda incluía a vocalista Kellin Quinn, conocido por su amplio rango vocal y su particular tono de voz, junto con Jesse Lawson en la guitarra rítmica, Jack Fowler en la guitarra principal, Gabe Barham en la batería y Justin Hills en el bajo.
A lo largo de su carrera, Sleeping With Sirens ha lanzado varios álbumes de estudio, cada uno mostrando un crecimiento y evolución tanto en su estilo como en su contenido lírico. Sus temas abarcan desde la angustia juvenil hasta la autorreflexión y el empoderamiento personal.
Su primer álbum de estudio, With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear, fue lanzado en marzo de 2010. Este álbum presentó una mezcla de post-hardcore con elementos de pop punk, y rápidamente capturó la atención de una audiencia más amplia, alcanzando altas posiciones en las listas de Billboard. Canciones como If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn y The Bomb Dot Com v2.0 se convirtieron en clásicos instantáneos para los seguidores de la banda.
I met a girl at seventeen
Thought she meant the world to me
So I gave her everything
She turned out to be a cheat
Said she'd been thinking for a long time
And she found somebody new
I've been thinking that this whole time
Well I never thought you'd stay that's okay
I hope he takes your filthy heart in
And he throws you away someday
Before you go
There's one thing you oughta know...
If you can't hang then there's the door baby
If you can't hang then there's the door baby
If you can't hang then there's the door baby
If you can't hang then there's the door...
I don't wanna take your precious time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
but you turn into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turn into a pretty big waste of my time
You're the lowest type, you're the lowest...
I met a girl talking away
She found a boy, she knew she'd change
I changed my clothes, my hair, my face
To watch us go our separate ways
She said we'd grown apart for sometime
But then she found somebody new
I hope Mr. Right puts up
with all the bullshit that you do
Stay the hell away
Well I sit here by myself
To figure out how I got this way
Before you go
There's one thing you oughta know
If you can't hang then there's the door baby
If you can't hang then there's the door baby
If you can't hang then there's the door baby
If you can't hang then there's the door...
I don't wanna take your precious time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turn into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turn into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna get this confused
She said she never settle for some boy
She couldn't use...
So now I gotta call the doctor
So we can prescribe me medication
So I can deal with all the memories
Of being near this way
I met a girl at twenty-three
Knew she meant the world to me
So I gave her everything
And she did the same for me
Imagine that
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty face
No, you're such a pretty, pretty face
Wooooooahh yeeaahhh
Cause you're such a pretty, pretty face
No, you're such a pretty, pretty face
I don't wanna take your precious time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turn into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turn into a pretty big waste of my time
Would you, please, stay and come inside, baby
Would you, please, stay and please be mine, baby
Would you, please, stay and come inside, baby
Would you, please, stay and please be mine
