We Can Only Sleep

Sunlight leaks through an open window

Tries to wake me up

Tries to hold me down

'Cause I've failed at things too simple

It's had the best of me

It's left me on the ground.

So I'll just stay sleeping, until the evening howls.

So this storm will break the night

Wakes me up to raging tides

Crashing down like heartless rocks

The ropes will pull me off

Just like a compass in the snow

Its needle struggles to and fro

'Cause if it's lost, it tries to keep

The courage lost beneath the sea

Woken up to northern lights

Hollowed shells and freezing nights

I'll bite my lip to keep the feeling in my face

This is just a simple fact

Of how I felt just holding flowers in the snow

All dying in the cold

So I'll leave them by your side, every night

So this storm will break the night

Wakes me up to raging tides

Crashing down like heartless rocks

The ropes will lock to pull me off

Just like a compass in the snow

Its needle struggles to and fro

'Cause if it's lost, it tries to keep

The courage lost beneath the sea

I will walk away to hide inside a home

Just leaving footprints, that follow like a storm

'Cause we have been lost

We have been lost

So this storm will break the night

Wakes me up to raging tides

Crashing down like heartless rocks

The ropes will lock to pull me off

Just like a compass in the snow

Its needle struggles to and fro

'Cause if it's lost, it tries to keep

The courage lost beneath the sea

I am always lost

I am always lost
