Lyrics
I know I shouldn’t call you
but its raining
And you keep sayin
That you’re all alone
But I ain’t with these games you keep on playin
You gone or stayin?
Make up your mind or let me go
You hide it well but I can tell
By the look in your eyes
You were falling to pieces
And with a glance you let me dance
With your greatest disguise
And it’s leaving me sleepless
Back and forth you push and pull me
As I get lost in what we should be
I know I shouldn’t call you
but its raining
And you keep sayin
That you’re all alone
But I ain’t with these games you keep on playin
You gone or stayin?
Make up your mind or let me go
You hide it well but I can tell
By the look in your eyes
(Make up your mind or let me go)
And with a glance you let me dance
With your greatest disguise
(Make up your mind or let me go)
If stars aligned we would be fine
But that’s only in time
And the clock is against me
It’s by design, it’s all a sign
In and out of your mind
And I can’t keep from thinking
I stand here just to fight for nothing
So far gone and you keep running
Ready, Go
Nothing left to lose
Now you have to choose
I know I shouldn’t call you
but its raining
(Rainin)
And you keep sayin
(Sayin)
That you’re all alone
(All alone)
But I ain’t with these games you keep on playin
(Playin)
You gone or stayin?
(Stayin)
Make up your mind or let me go
If stars aligned we would be fine
But that’s only in time
(Make up your mind or let me go)
It’s by design, it’s all a sign
In and out of your mind
(Make up your mind or let me go)

Someday, when they get big, we can proudly say that we’ve been fans of the band since they’ve released their first song “Another Way.”

I don’t think people realize how beautifully this song is put together, the flow of the instruments, the bass mixed with the drums. I had chills for half the first song, this is also my first time listening to it. Not to mention the choice of where to put in the lyrics, it all just flows so powerfully.

[@clarkbrinker137]

Super facts! A masterpiece. Whoever mixed and produced this really earned their money on the day this was recorded. ❤

[@buellaaasmith8918]

Yassssssssssss and the lyrics omg so angelic

[@meagerknight1653]

The first 30 seconds reeled me in no lie. This is a band that’s about the craft

[@mcmakelove369]

This band is a breath of fresh air 😮‍💨

[@nick3159]

It really is

[@shermandean1778]

Literally 🙌🏾🙌🏾👨🏾‍🎤👨🏾‍🎤

[@jodiemanthei6160]

They haven’t even released an album, yet, and they’re already my favorite new band. I was just as excited to see them as I was Shinedown and they did NOT disappoint! Can’t wait for the album. :)

[@viktoriastabb2716]

After one tiktok.. I found these dudes and I love them the vocals are so lovely. The metal hits and those lyrics are killer

[@brodude33]

Dude, same here!!! Just found out about them a few minutes ago and had to quickly look up the song.

[@stephendowell901]

Sleep theory is probably one of the best things to come out of Memphis in at least the last 10 years if not more

[@jerrenreed7355]

Can’t get enough of these guys they’re bringing back good music

[@VoltageDesigns]

Song's on repeat while at work. Hits the feels just right. Absolute banger.

[@Polishedturd]

Every song has been an absolute fuckin banger!! I love the R&B influence in this song.

[@possumrattails]

You guys keep putting out absolute bangers. Please keep it up. This song is great, just like everything else you put out. I can't wait for every new release. Hopefully I get to see you guys live one day!

[@maxwellsherouse1749]

How. On earth. Has this song not made them explode with fame? Insane. GREAT work guys. I can't get this song out of my head.

[@christhilmany2570]

Dear God give us an album already lol. All three tracks now are on repeat and this band is by FAR the best one out there now. Great Job guys you have at least one fan who will be buying a physical CD once it drops.

[@xbbybellex5732]

i haven’t listened to new alt music in so long and this just pulled me in love love love

[@sirwooley]

Saw them in Cincinnati opening for Beartooth and Plot in You and they absolutely killed it. Sounded phenomenal live!

[@steverichards7350]

insane to think this is only the 3rd track you guys have released, dropping banger after banger!!

[@tjvaneyk7010]

When he sings I know I shouldn't call you but it's raining I can hear the scream vocals in the background even though there isn't any, songs magical

[@barrb0727]

My air conditioner is working hard but Sleep Theory works harder! 🖤🤘 Can’t hit that replay button fast enough 🙌

[@amyevans4694]

This song hits my soul… it’s gonna be on repeat for the foreseeable 🖤

[@henryemele3147]

The fact that every member has amazing voice and unique voice says a lot! I love your music ❤, reminds me of my childhood era. POST-hardcore is back 🤘🏽

[@javierlopez-ko2ph]

i litterally jam this song before work for like the past month.. these dudes are gonna make it big

[@ashleykay3023]

I love seeing bands when they just start out. Then watching them blow up knowing I seen them when they were " no one". This band needs to rise! Seen them 2 times now and have not been disappointed.

[@bridgetmae1686]

I relate to all their songs.. Another way is legit my favorite song at the moment to blast and scream out the lyrics to. Numb is another one. Now this one.. sent to my other half because I resignate with it so fucking much. Sleep theory, you are easily one of my new favorites. I love you guys

[@Discredited_Corruption]

This is the best song I’ve found in a long time. Please keep this pace and never change your sound. This is pure god gold

[@africanbeauty825]

I love this band! Omg! Every song I love.🤟🏾 Who ever write these songs is amazing! So heart felt 💜

I’m so proud of you bro. I got to see two of your shows in Memphis and it was a pleasure to meet you and talk about music! Keep on going ❤️

[@JCWEST]

Watching you guys grow is truly inspiring. Since I met you guys at the Joan Red Homecoming you truly have become one of our ABSOLUTE favorite bands. You dont have a single song my wife and i dont love!

[@beastboigaming4237]

Thus song literally is what I'm going thru rn... I wish she knew she was capable of love but she's fighting demons she don't even realize.. she's so worried of turning out like her biological mother who abandoned her. She's afraid of making the same mistakes and I feel like she's blessed. That she has incredible favor over her life cause God has plans for her. That she's meant to break the generational curses holding her family back.

[@jovanimedina1089]

I literally just discovered this band last week, it was from an AD on insta and instantly liked the vocals and rhythm , now I have listened to everyone of their songs and even bought a shirt lol

[@jakethesnake95]

Just discovered Sleep Theory last night, and I'm now a die-hard fan. All of their songs are so fucking good!

[@adub1994]

I've been following you guys for the past 5 months, another way got me onto you. Our local rock station started playing numb and it is a great song but i wanted some fallout, gone or staying, or the OG another way. Long story short i live in Roanoke and you're the first rock/metal band coming through in a long time. bought me and my wife tickets immediately ha-ha. So stoked, its always country bands. I have had the honor to play with some big time bands here but its few and far between. Cant wait to see you guys. This town is full of musicians.

[@swizzywaffles2478]

Did you already see them live now?

[@rebekahcarter8120]

Heard this premiere on Octane when they did their interview with Caity Babs. Been in love with this song ever since. This band can do no wrong.

[@ginnygraichen677]

I'm stuck on octane I have yet to hear this one play😢 your luck to have caught it guess I've been sleeping

[@rebekahcarter8120]

@@ginnygraichen677 I haven't heard it since then. I got lucky & was on a toad trip that day so I had Octane on a lot & at the right time apparently.

[@danielmaclellan3114]

Seriously, someone want to explain to me how I'm just NOW hearing this band? 🔥🔥🔥

[@rayjacobs8472]

This band is incredible, I love their sound They play. Every song they have out I have on repeat.

[@leilatorres7913]

literally on repeat for days now like i literally am stuck on the beat and his voice

[@jenniferbrown8604]

Heard the song numb in pandora.. then decided to investigate them. THEY ARE FROM MEMPHIS!! I love it!! Reppin that hometown #memphismade

[@WhiteTheGray]

These guys caught my attention recently WOW they are tight and their sings are so well put together love it! Have a feeling they will just keep getting bigger! Had that same feeling about three years ago when I saw Sleep Token in a small venue......I looked at my friend and was like whoa this band has it ! So do these guys!

[@wwilt1381]

You have such an awesome sound! I can't wait to hear more!

[@sebsharpe7785]

Just burned palo santo , feeling the feels tonight. Fell down the best rabbit hole of OG Classics from Escape the fate, Attack Attack, of Mice & Men. My anxiety is gone. I’m already obsessed w. These . Ughh their voices & everything!

[@AFreakinProblem]

Immediately got my attention when they were playing acoustic outside of Pop’s near St. Louis and opening for Beartooth. Definitely looking forward to seeing more songs from them.

[@antoniacorrales9148]

This might be the greatest hook I think I've ever heard across all genres of music. This song slaps on so many different levels, great job sleep theory 🗣💯
