Lyrics
Derek
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!
