Asleep

I see you in my dreams

I see you in my rear-view mirror

I know it always seems

That I can maybe be more clearer

So why don't I admit

To things that I'm not proud of?

Never can I quit

To things that I can't say aloud

Every time I close my eyes

I get to be with you a while

I know it's really not that deep

That's why I'd rather stay asleep

I see you late at night

I lie to my friends on the phone

I tell them I'm alone

But I'm not, you're right there

You do this all the time

I knew it and fell for it anyway

I can't even explain

Why you make me feel this way

Every time I close my eyes

I get to be with you a while

I know it's really not that deep

That's why I'd rather stay asleep
