I'll die before I get to sleepWhen screaming shadows haunt my dreamsI'm cold and soaking wet when daylight shows it's faceThis fear will always get in your way And I can hear so muchThat I miss it everydayIt finds me deep in love and deeper down the laneI don't know too much but I know what I wanna sayI just need myself Please leave me when you see me fallOh please I have to climb that wallAnd from the top of it you can nearly see your faceBut don't let this ever get in your way And I can hear so muchThat I miss it everydayIt finds me deep in love and deeper down the laneI don't know too much but I know what I wanna sayI just need myself I'm not going to walk on sinking sandI'll sail this day to higher landand when the sun is high, and I'll let my music sayThese things will never get in your way And I can hear so muchThat I miss it everydayIt finds me deep in love and deeper down the laneI don't know too much but I know what I wanna sayI just need myself
