lyrics

Sing me awake, I've been sleeping for far too long
Drowning in memories so sweet like honeybees
Taking my time, I've been waiting for something to give
But all life does it take, take, take away from me

The world goes on turning, the seasons still change
We rearrange our lives
The best of intentions can't cover up pain
But we know that we'll give them a try
Cause a dream doesn't sound like a lie

So sing me awake, I've been sleeping for far too long
Tying my heartstrings 'round empty promises
Breathing in slow, I've been searching for someone to love
But all love does is break, break, break our hearts again

The world goes on turning, the seasons still change
We rearrange our lives
The best of intentions can't cover up pain
But we know that we'll give them a try
Cause a dream doesn't sound like a lie

And it's no wonder we can't stand the weather
We can't hold the heat in our veins
In between questions and answers
There's no room to just see today

The world goes on turning, the seasons still change
We rearrange our lives
The best of intentions can't cover up pain
But we know that we'll give them a try
Cause a dream doesn't sound like a lie

So sing me awake, I've been sleeping for far too long
