lyrics

If I could just sleep forever
I think my life would be fine
Because you wouldn't have to hear me complain all the time,
You could admire me from a distance,
Think I'm sweet and warm,
And you wouldn't learn what it feels like when my love has grown cold,
Maybe from time to time I will snore through my dreams
And that's about as hard as life could get between you and me
Cause there'd never be any words to slide off my knife of a tongue
And never any bullets to shoot from my mouth's gun.

I appreciate what you're saying
But I know I'm a terrible person,
Just don't say I didn't warn you.

If I could sleep forever
I wouldn't feel all the time,
Wouldn't be so conflicted in the name of sacrifice,
And the colors and the thoughts that plague me throughout the day
Couldn't obscure my focus from under sheets on my bed,
Maybe I'd be missing out on you
But I know I'm the fool
Cause I packed your bags six years ago
And you rightly closed the book,
There'll never be another chapter
Or page in our lives,
So I'll just sleep forever and my life will be fine.
