Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sleeping is giving in
No matter what the time is
Sleeping is giving in
So lift those heavy eyelids
[Verse 2]
People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
[Verse 3]
People say that your dreams
Are the only things that save ya
Come on, baby, in our dreams
We can live our misbehavior
[Chorus]
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
[Verse 4]
People try and hide the night
Underneath the covers
People try and hide their lies
Underneath the covers
[Verse 5]
Come on, hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
Come on, hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
[Verse 6]
Hidin' from your brothers
Underneath the covers
Come on, hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
[Verse 7]
People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
[Chorus]
Now here's the sun, it's alright (Lies, lies)
Now here's the moon, it's alright (Lies, lies)
Now here's the sun, it's alright (Lies, lies)
Now here's the moon, it's alright (Lies, lies)
[Chorus]
But every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies)
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
