When it started we had high hopes

Now my back's on the line

My back's on the ropes



When it started we were alright

But night makes a fool

Of us in daylight



There we were dying of frustration

Saying, "Lord lead me not into temptation"

But it's not easy when she turns you on

Sin, stay gone



If you'd only if you'd only say yes

Whether you will's anybody's guess

God only God knows I'm trying my best

But I'm just so tired of this loneliness



Hey



So up they picked me by the big toe

I was held from the rooftop then they let go

Dizzily screaming "Let the windows down"

As I crawl to the ground



If you'd only if you'd only say yes

Whether you will's anybody's guess

God only God knows she won't let me rest

But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

I've become so tired of this loneliness

Ooh...Ooh...



Oh sleep

Sleep satisfies

Oh sleep

Sleep satisfies

Sleep satisfies

Fall asleep

Fall asleep

Sleep mystifies

Sleep mystifies



Fall asleep

Fall asleep

Sleep satisfies

Sleep...[sleep]



[repeat]



Sleep satisfies
