Sleep Well Songtext

to wax poetic.

I'm not frantic, for once.



Once I told you,

well, I told you everything.

I opened my mouth

and said too much

but I thought I'd give

you words as love.

Love is only a hunch.
Please sleep well tonight.



Here's the part where

drums and bass kick in

my simplistic song as

I realize my shoes are untied.

When's the last time

I looked down?

I'll be around if you look.



Once you told me,

well, you told me just enough

to keep me hanging

but have no fear.

I'm distraught, but it feels nice

to be an open book.

I'll be around if you



Look at me now

singing for all these people,

telling them I'm no steeple.

This is my spotlight.

I'll sleep well tonight.



For a fadeout

I think I'll avoid a bridge.

Let's keep this short, and

completely pointless, there's just

no way to compromise.

Wise are the wordless, and right.



Once you loved me.

Once I made a cruel mistake.

God only knows that I'm glad

for the outcome, it shows me

we're not who I thought we were.

You get the last word, so



Write me a letter.

Send it to Wilderness Road.

To my temptation I'll go,

living on more than bread alone.

My sins are my strongpoints

when I remember I'm flawed.

Long is the road, and outlawed,

that leads up to light.

So I'll sleep quietly,

yes I'll sleep so silently,

and I'll sleep well tonight.
