lyrics

sleepyhead your eyes are closed
thought you didn't want to be alone
would you like to share a dream
i know it's not quite what it would seem
they told you how it all should look
like crushed flowers in a book
kept the pieces in a safe
didn't want to stay
but i don't make the rules

the next door neighbor grew a beard
often sang but you'd never hear
his father left without a will
the family fights about it still
you never noticed on sunday
he put the promise ring away
waited near the pharmacy
whispered something nervously
"why don't she see me?"

sleepyhead your eyes are closed
guess you spend the night alone
watching something on tv
an x-files marathon till three
never knew you used to write
sketching stories late at night
dusty notebooks on the shelf
nothing that can't be helped
but you will never know
