Sleeping In - Nevertheless

I’ve been sleeping in for days,

'Cause when I am awake,

I will have to face my life.

And I’m hoping it’s a phase.

The walls that I create

Can only make it seem alright.

And I get carried away like I’m the only one

Who’s ever felt the way that I do,

But I can hear you say, «You're not the only one.

Everybody hopes to get through.»

And it’s got me sleeping in.

Every day God, it’s the same thing.

Yeah, you caught me sleeping in.

I’m still hiding;

I’m still waiting.

I need you here with me to face the world outside

'Cause I’m tired of sleeping in.

I’ve been waking up with fear,

'Cause all that I can hear

Is the ringing of alarms downtown.

It’s been going on for years,

But you have made it clear

That I am not alone in this crowd.

And I get carried away like I’m the only one

Who’s ever felt the way that I do,

But I can hear you say, «You're not the only one.

Everybody hopes to get through.»

And it’s got me sleeping in.

Every day God, it’s the same thing.

Yeah, you caught me sleeping in.

I’m still hiding;

I’m still waiting.

I need you here with me to face the world outside

'Cause I’m tired of sleeping in.

Open up my eyes.

I’m tired of sleeping in In a world that’s dying to wake up.

I’m done with sleeping in.
