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 all 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"
Ohh
And I wonder if this life should be
Live for greater purpose than being
Someone else's dream
Ohh
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
He 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 a night
They said feeling sedated
And feeling alright
And if something's been wrong
I guess this is the light in the tunnel
Ohh
And I wonder if this life should be
Live for greater purpose than feeling
Nothing constantly
Ohh
And I wonder what this life should be
Lately all I need's just a little more sleep
Sometimes its to wake up
And some to forget
The chemical answer
To all the questions I have
And no, I don't need it
I just don't know where I'd be without it
Ohh
And I wonder if this life should be
Live for greater purpose than being
Someone else's dream
Ohh
And I wonder what this life should be
Lately all I need's just a little more sleep
Just a little more
