Sunlight leaks through an open windowTries to wake me upTries to hold me down'Cause I've failed at things too simpleIt's had the best of meIt's left me on the groundSo I'll just stay sleeping, until the evening howlsSo this storm will break the nightWakes me up to raging tidesCrashing down like heartless rocksThe ropes will pull me offJust like a compass in the snowIts needle struggles to and fro'Cause if it's lost, it tries to keepThe courage lost beneath the seaWoken up to northern lightsHollowed shells and freezing nightsI'll bite my lip to keep the feeling in my faceThis is just a simple factOf how I felt just holding flowers in the snowAll dying in the cold

So I'll leave them by your side, every nightSo this storm will break the nightWakes me up to raging tidesCrashing down like heartless rocksThe ropes will lock to pull me offJust like a compass in the snowIts needle struggles to and fro'Cause if it's lost, it tries to keepThe courage lost beneath the seaI will walk away to hide inside a homeJust leaving footprints that follow like a storm‘Cause we have all been lostWe have all been lost, so this storm will break the nightWakes me up to raging tidesCrashing down like heartless rocksThe ropes will lock to pull me offJust like a compass in the snowIts needle struggles to and fro'Cause if it's lost, it tries to keepThe courage lost beneath the seaI am always lostI am always lost

We Can Only Sleep Lyrics
