Sleeping In

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."

[Chorus]

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."

[Chorus]

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.
