lyrics

We go over all the things we did and said
Too many different voices echo in our heads
Sometimes it's hard just getting out of bed

It's only when we sleep
We don't feel so weak

These different stories tell themselves across the years
Familiar patterns in our worries and our fears
We measure out our lives in happiness and tears

It's only when we sleep
We don't feel so weak
And all of this will keep
So let's go back to sleep

Feels like falling, but we don't leave the ground
Hear it calling, with no sound

Another morning watching every minute pass
We hear the voices but we're not sure what they asked
We make ourselves a promise "This will be the last!"
The future disappears into the past
From now we'll let time begin
Stop caring if we lose our win
Don't think until we're too far in

It's only when we sleep
We don't feel so weak
And all of this will keep
So let's go back to sleep

Feels like falling but we don't leave the ground
Hear it calling, with no sound
Feels like falling, but we don't leave the ground
Hear it calling, with no sound

It's only when we sleep
