When I step back
The water rises to my chest
And over my head
Until I open my eyes again
Only to find that I
Had been asleep this whole time
And the night is young
As I look to my alarm clock
The morning hasn’t opened her eyes
To rise
So I close my eyes again
Hoping I can sleep past this
To wake to a war
Between my head and my heart
So I breathe, I sigh
To break the silence of this quiet night
And I close my eyes
Oh, please, just let me sleep tonight
I can see you when I close my eyes
Oh please just let me sleep tonight
But you’re still mine
When I close my eyes
