The Sleep Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know you better than you'd like to believe Your pillow holds you but your mindwantsto leave And ifyou get up and the sheetsturn to sleeves Your life feels so real and you lose your dreams Why would you change the world when there's plenty to do in your sleep? [Verse 2] Now you're on your way to begin your day The lights are so bright and they don't go away The sounds flood your ears and your mind, you're just passing the time as you wait and you wait and you pray, the day is over so the evening can take you away Why not just dream about tomorrow, it beats trying to fix today? I'm so tired [Verse 3] Now it's time for you to hit the hay Thoughts about the day before will flood your brain You think back to the lights and the rain and the sounds and the pain and the waste of a day that you lived, with no regards for the day's potential for change So why would you go to sleep when there's so much to do by just staying awake? [Outro] So when the stars come out to play Please, just give them away and return for another day
