Sleepwalking
by
Matthew R. Staley
They all say it’s the thought that
counts
But only for the first time around
We cannot hide from who we are
No matter what we do or how far we run
Branches of the same tree are you and me
Time is just to contemplate…
I’ve been on your side for most of
your nine lives
(without ever knowing why)
Thanks for the vote of confidence
(but there’s a difference between being friendly and
being friends)
The quicksand is getting deep
(I’ve got to stop walking in my sleep)
Only you can comfort me
(when the hourglass is almost empty)
Now time has passed and we have changed
with it
So easily, it seems we forget
I thought I lost you but now I see
That it’s you who have lost me
That’s not the way it should be
Tomorrow’s just another day…
I’ve been on your side for most of
your nine lives
(without ever thinking twice)
Thanks for the vote of confidence
(but there’s a difference between being friendly and
being friends)
The quicksand is getting deep
(I’ve got to stop walking in my sleep)
Only you can comfort me
(when the hourglass is almost empty)
I need to escape this world I’ve made
I’ve had enough of this game called love
When all the angels are fast asleep
There is no one to watch over me
We’ll have to play this one by ear
Time is running out and the end is near
I’ll find a star to grant my wish
As I climb my final cliff
I know all yet know nothing still
Think of me what you will
Why live our lives like we’re in a race
When in the end, we finish in the same place
Anonymous to remain where names don’t mean anything
A friend in need is a friend indeed…
I’ve been on your side for
most of your nine lives
(without ever knowing why)
Thanks for the vote of confidence
(but there’s a difference between being friendly and
being friends)
The quicksand is getting deep
(I’ve got to stop walking in my sleep)
Only you can comfort me
(when the hourglass is almost empty)
