The Sleeper
This was the first song confirmed to be on the NMS EP. However, as of it yet (like the rest of the EP), it has not been recorded.
The song is about waking up to the fullness of life when you find love. When people talk about everything being brighter, and the the birds singing sweeter because they are in love, they are expressing the same thing as this song.
The Sleeper is one of two songs on the EP to have been written about Nex's girlfriend, Lizzy Mann.
Lyrics
All my life, couldn't see the hollow,
deep inside, waiting for tomorrow,
now I find, I am without sorrow
I am whole
and it's because I've found you.
Now you've pulled me through
And I am whole
you complete my soul
Just like one mind, and I feel fine
and now we're together, baby
From the start, you played the part
of the girl who had come to save me
It's my chance
Awake at last
Here I am, feeling all is perfect
By your side, and no one can object
To our love, and I see they suspect
Now we're whole
no one can love you like me
You're all I need
And I am whole
you complete my soul
Just like one mind, it feels so fine
'cause now we're together, baby
and from the start, we gave our hearts
I know you have come to save me
It's our chance
Awake at last
All my life, couldn't see the hollow
Now I find, I am without sorrow
I am whole
