The Wallflowers - Sleepwalker lyrics

That could be my reputation

It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore

I'm an educated virgin

Sleepwalker, don't be shy

Now don't open your eyes tonight

You'll be the one that defends my life

While I'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow

Sam Cooke didn't know what I know

I'll never be your valentine

The sleepwalker in me

And God only know that I've tried

Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim

Just don't leave me at the window

I could be the one to be your next best friend

You may need someone to hold you

Sleepwalker, take this knife

You may see someone tonight

You'd be the one that saves my life

When I'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow

Sam Cooke didn't know what I know

I'll never be your valentine

The sleepwalker in me

And God only know that I've tried

I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad

But I can hear you, your voice, the laughtrack

But you never saw my best scene

The one where I sleep

Sleepwalk into your dreams

Now, sleepwalker, what's my line

It's only a matter of time

Until I learn to open up my eyes

When I'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow

Sam Cooke didn't know what I know

I'll never be your valentine

The sleepwalker in me

Now, the sleepwalker in me

Now, the sleepwalker in me

And God only know that I've tried
