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.
