Sleep

You were seventeen when I was eighteen
I was chasing you hoping you'd chase after me
But you never did
Now I know nothing's worth chasing but my dreams

Everybody else is staying out late
Somewhere in my mind kissing new lips
I have trouble staying awake
Looking for someone who'd tell me that
Love exists in so many ways

I just want you to love me so I try to close my eyes
I just want you to love me so I close my eyes
The only time you love me is when I'm asleep

I don't mind running out of breath every day
If you're the one taking my breath away
Now I'm sleepless
So I'm begging the moon and the stars to stay

Everybody else is staying out late
Somewhere in my head making a wish
I have trouble staying awake
Hoping you would change my mind when I say
True love doesn't exist

I just want you to love me so I try to close my eyes
I just want you to love me so I close my eyes
The only time you love me is when I'm asleep

You can't be stuck in my dreams
And I can't be trapped in my sleep
Somebody wake me up
Wake me up please

I just want you to leave me so I open my eyes and say goodbye
I just want you to leave me so I open my eyes
The only time I see what's right
