Lyrics

SLEEPWALKING
Written By Charles D'Simone

You work so hard to get it right
But what is right I don't believe you know
The picture perfect I can see
Has holes that sink the ship down far below

Stand or fall
It only matters if you try
You've got the rest of your life

So maybe you can just forget
What it was like when you first lost your mind
From where you are it seems so real
The steps that you were born to take you find

Lead to someone else
Long before you see yourself
You've got to open your eyes

[Chorus]
And wake up
You're drowning in the haze
Tomorrow came but it was just too late
So wake up
The day is breaking
Are you wide awake or
Sleepwalking

Time is measured time is sold
Everything is such a rush of time
And it's so hard to figure out
And everywhere another screaming sign

You better buy it now
Before you have a chance to live
They will take what you give

[Chorus]
So wake up
You're drowning in the haze
Tomorrow came but it was just too late
So wake up
The day is breaking
Are you wide awake or
Sleepwalking
