Sleep - Paradise Fears

seven months on her own, a new life on the way

her mom gone too early, advice come too late

the churches were full, so i guess he ain’t saving nobody

and he cried every night, just like babies’ll do

to say 'hey mom, please wake up, i’m counting on you'

'what a shame' friends would say, 'we thought she’d end up being a doctor'

ooh and i wonder if this life should be lived for greater purpose

than being someone else’s dream

ooh and i wonder what this life should be

lately all i need’s just a little more sleep

you dance back and forth, between rhythm and blues

it was brave or just stupid, but to tell you the truth,

if there was a difference, i guess i never knew what it was

it was reds in the morning and three blues at night

they said feeling sedated meant feeling all right

and if something’s been wrong, i guess this is the light in the tunnel

ooh and i wonder if this life should be lived for greater purpose

than feeling nothing constantly

ooh and i wonder what this life should be

lately all i need’s just a little more sleep

sometimes it’s to wake up and some to forget

the chemical answers all the questions i have

i know i don’t need it, i just don’t know where i’d be without it

ooh and i wonder if this life should be lived for greater purpose

than being someone else’s dream

ooh and i wonder what this life should be

lately all i need’s just a little more sleep,

just a little more
