Century Video (MV)

You always smile when you're asleep
I wonder whether it registers at all when I kiss you on the cheek
And sometimes you even speak
A foreign dialect made up entirely of little grunts and squeaks
When I ask you to repeat
You've already drifted away
Back into the deep
Perfectly at peace
So I'll stay up for a few more minutes or hours or weeks

You always smile when you're asleep
It's a shame I can't always say the same for the times in between
Life is but a dream
Except you can't wake up and everything's exactly how it seems
Seems alright to me
Yeah it seems alright to me
Perfectly at peace
So I'll stay up for a few more minutes or hours or weeks

Or years
A century
Is that look still meant for me?
And when you talk do you ever mention me?

A few more minutes
Or months or years
A century
Could you have been sent for me?
And could it possible be meant to be?

You always smile when you're asleep
I'm not sure the same thing happens to me
I guess I'll never see
But I can make a good guess from the state of my most recent dreams
It's unlikely
Oh, it's unlike me to be
Perfectly at peace
So I'll stay up for a few more minutes or hours or weeks

Or years
A century
Is that look still meant for me?
And when you talk do you ever mention me?

A few more minutes
Or months or years
A century
Could you have been sent for me?
And could it possible be meant to be?

A few more minutes
Or hours or days
A century
'Til I start acting sensibly
I swear that I'll get there eventually

A few more minutes
Or months or years
A century
'Til I'm not all there mentally
'Til I start to descend gently
Gently
