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
