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
