knowing i'll stay and there i go
slipping away to the way i know
myself i say that life's o.k.
and i will never hide my face again
i'd like to believe
i'm awake on my feet
i know i'm just walking back to sleep
give me one day
to get back me right state
there's no time to recover
fast forward rewind play

so give it back to me
all the days misplaced you took from me
every time i try to catch up with my mind
i don't sleep
give it back to me
give me time for sleep
until you set me free
i'll be walking back to sleep

i'm never awake enough to know
think i'm o.k. and a stray i go
trapped in the middle
of caffeine and day dream
this must be real
but things are never what they seem
now its six a.m. my head
is pounding where's my bed
i guess i never made it that far
because i woke up drunk in my back yard
with reminder bruises
and stains of a looser
its days like this
make me an aspirin abuser

so give it back to me
all the days misplaced you took from me
every time i try to catch up with my mind
i don't sleep
give it back to me
give me time for sleep
until you set me free
i'll be walking back to sleep

why say good night
it's a lie when i try to be
living my life and then die
what's it costing me
everything i keep inside
its exhausting see
every night goes by with no sleep
