lyrics

When I woke up this morning
I'd dreamt a dream I never dream
It got me keeping tally
Of endless sheep before I fall asleep

Because I'm afraid of waking up
Feeling like I cannot breathe
Paralysed and stuck
Drowning beneath these empty sheets

Lights didn't go out last night
Maybe you heard or didn't you hear?
That I was up till dawn
Thinking of ways to make this disappear

So I went down to my kitchen
Watching the cat stare at the wall
Sometimes with you I count my fingers
To check if I'm awake at all

Most nights I lay down in the sand
Pretending to fall asleep
And in the morning I wake up
Feeling like I've slipped of something tall
The only problem is although I've woken up
I'm continuing to fall

When I float past my window
I see silhouettes I've never seen
A culmination of my flaws
I hide my eyes so that I wont see you bleed

So we push off from the river
Feel the oars scrape at the ice
Struggle for purchase against the current
To find the rudder isn't sitting right

In my dream we're a pixelation
Of the colour purple and the sound of swings
Unwanted interruptions
Take form of waves on an empty sea

So we begin to feel the pounding
As our boat sinks to the sand
Is it me, are you afraid of drowning?
I don't mean to shout but I can't find your hand

Most days I wake up in the water
Pretending I can hear you breathe
And in the evening I get up
Feeling like I've never slept at all
The only problem is all though I've woken up
I'm continuing to fall

My kitchen is flooding and you're just staring at the wall
I can't make you swim with me
Don't tell me you're ok
Drinking tea in my swimming pool
