Lyrics

Sleeper

Heard you were out there tryin' to find me Heard that you're on your way Don't think I know you, don't think I own you What have you got to say?

Why do people tell me the things I don't want to hear? I'm just going to fall asleep And make you disappear

Rather be a sleeper No one to wake me No one gets hurt when I forget you Rather be a sleeper Under the blankets, under the guilt when I forsake you

Now that you're lookin', I want to find you Meet you and share some days I need to know you, I need to own you I wanna keep you safe

Why do people tell me the things I don't want to hear? I'm just going to fall asleep And make you disappear

Rather be a sleeper No one to wake me No one gets hurt when I forget you Rather be a sleeper Under the blankets, under the guilt when I forsake you
