No Use for a Name - Sleeping In lyrics

Packing up the pictures in an old shoe box

It's so silent I can almost hear you walk

Down the hall standing in front of that window

If heaven is so high, then why are you so low?

Does it feel, that you're taking back the love that made him real

In the darkness you will always see his face

And I could never take the place of him

Today I'm sleeping in

Woke up it's too late and I should be in school

There's always something wrong when you ignore the rules

Never want to see myself in front of that window

Sucking up your tears, didn't want to let me know too much

Reaching out your hand for one last touch

Take me with you, everybody here is fake

And I don't wanna feel the same when you give in

In a lifetime, time will always take our place

But I will lay here shielded from the pain

This is a long time from today

You gave me all that I could take

And gave me strength to carry on

In the darkness, you will always see his face

And I don't wanna be there when you do, give in

In a lifetime, time will always take our place

And I will lay here shielded from the pain

I do whatever I want, you never let me down

I always know when lost somehow you're found

Although life has all thse consequences now

And that's OK, and that's OK
