I look at you lying there sleeping so soundly sometimes I wish I could sleep as calm as you and I bet in your dreaming I'm there I look peaceful and maybe you'd assume I'm lost in dreaming too but despite how I try to close my eyes and join you despite how I try to hold my breath and body still despite how I try not to jolt you or wake you I can't sleep I don't breath I won't move Am I fulfilled? I look at you lying there and I want love you I want to sleep for decades by your side but with you I'm restless I'm running on empty I'm living a life where I have comprimised You'd think in my sleep I'd see you in my future You'd think in my dreams I'd see our kids play on the lawn you'd think in my nightmares I'm living life without you You would think you would guess but I can't sleep So you'd be wrong You have blue eyes and I love blue eyes I love how you're six feet tall I love how we question if God's really there and how we hate Christmas time at the mall and on paper we're great and our stars are alligned and it looks like it was all meant to be but night after night I keep shutting my eyes and I try but I find I can't sleep I look at you lying sleeping without me I bet you'd never guess my restlessness just grows and while I want to shut my eyes and know the things you know I can't sleep I can't breath I can't move How I wish I could wake you I wish I could jolt you I wish I could love you but wishing that I'd loved you isn't really loving I suppose
Du liegst schlafend neben mir, friedlich, alleine. Ich weiss, du ahnst es nicht. Doch ich halt es nicht mehr aus. Und wägrend ich versuch’, uns zu seh’n wie du. Bleib ich wach, bleib ich starr, bleib ich still. Ja ich möchte dich wecken, ich würd’ dich gern’ retten ich würd dich gern’ lieben. Doch nur der wunsch nach liebe, ist nicht echte liebe. Glaube ich.
