Lyrics Emmelie de Forest

Emmelie de Forest

Running In My Sleep

Nightmares have a hold on me

Will this fever ever leave

And wake me from my sleep again?

Careful, I am somewhere else

And I’m walking in the dark, concealing all my scars

I see a new horizon

Over the hills and far away

It’s not too late to escape

Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Over the hills and far away

We’re getting nowhere playing safe

Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Running in my sleep

A chess game all in black and white

In a charade that made me numb

Where black knights keep me from the day

Angels singing as I fall

From a staircase leading to beyond with hypnotizing songs

Leading to new horizons

Over the hills and far away

It’s not too late to escape

Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Over the hills and far away

We’re getting nowhere playing safe

Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Running in my sleep

Running in my sleep

Over the hills and far away

It’s not too late to escape

Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Over the hills and far away

We’re getting nowhere playing safe

Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Running in my sleep
