[Intro]

Whenever I see you

I'm looking forward to the end of the day, day, day

But all the time that I sleep through

It makes me wonder why I stay awake

Alright, okay


[Verse 1]

Don't take all my clothes off (Don't take them away)

I'm not ready for a change (I'm not ready for a change)

Don't take all dreams from me (All I have)

You don't know it yet but they'll all come true

So just wait

Hypersomniac, in pyjamas

Baby sippin' Cognac, between some llamas

Maybe thats a dream, but I know they ain't want me there

It's not fair, huh, really whats the drama

Man I really want a rest, but ain't no cardiac

Kill the gamе, so they wanna know my zodiac

I'm in my zone, all alone

Don't wanna go into dеtails though

I'm a perfectionist, ay (ay)

Fearful that my right might just stop working

Be here all night, no sight just lurking

Please, no light, no light, close the curtains

Maybe that's my fight, or flight, i'm not certain

Stand up for the right price, or is that really worth it

If I'm just tired through the day, so I lie to get away with it

Ooh, now blues kick in, I snooze till I lose my shit


[Chorus]

Whenever I see you

I'm looking forward to the end of the day (Okay, okay)

But all the time that I sleep through

It makes me wonder why I stay awake, yeah

I get up, lay down

Fed up, and then wound up

In my bed, once again, and I say

Rent's up, pay's down

Can't get up, I know I sound

Insane but I can't make it up

I can't stay awake, my love


[Verse 2]

I feel inclined

To leave my life behind

Just tell me what's the time

Yeah

Wake up and then take a pill

Walk up to the window sill

Close it, cause my pillows still cold

No, you had me on the ropes

Wanted to take it slow

So baby thats a "No"

And if I go back to sleep just let me know

Cause I might just

Daydream about you, yeah

Daydream about you, no


[Bridge]

Sleep, sleep, sleep, baby I can't stay awake

Know I need, need, need you, though I might be late

Trying to teach, teach, teach myself to stay up, no way

But all these dreams I can't reach, look like a lay-up, okay (huh)

Sleep, sleep, sleep, baby I can't stay awake

I'm a sheep, sheep, sheep, baby let me through the gate

Trying to teach, teach, teach myself to stay up, no way

But all these dreams I can't reach, look like a lay-up, okay yeah


[Chorus]

Whenever I see you

I'm looking forward to the end of the day (yeah, yeah)

But all the time that I sleep through

It makes me wonder why I stay awake, yeah

I get up, lay down

Fed up, and then wound up

In my bed, once again, and I say

Rent's up, pay's down

Can't get up, I know I sound

Insane but I can't make it up

My brain can't stay awake, my love
