Derek

You wrote me a letter

You're sendin' it right now

I'll read in the mornin'

What wasted time's about

"I gave you my body

Your kids, my soul

This is not what love's about

I think you're gettin' old"

And this is my reaction

I've lived many lives

And I feel raw emotion

And I always know what's right

So goodnight

Cause I'm sleepin' in my mind

Goodnight

Yes I'm sleepin' with my eyes wide open

Just hope that I'll take me now

And I am a genius

Yes I am bold

Well I am a strong man

Who's figured it out

And I've conquered the land of dreams

They misunderstand me

Affection's what I need

And this is my reaction

I've lived many lives

And I feel raw emotion

And I always know what's right

So goodnight

Cause I'm sleepin' in my mind

Goodnight

Yes I'm sleepin' with my eyes wide open

Just hope that I'll take you now

(I'll take you now!)

And this is my reaction

I've lived many lies

And I feel raw emotion

And I always know what's right!
