it was at that certain moment
that i thought i could survive
it was at that fleeting moment
that i thought i wouldnt be shaking in this skin of mine
a memory from a year ago
sure can seem like ten minutes back
oh the many things i seem to miss when i am sleeping
i think i'll stay awake this time
i wanted to fly
but i am always afraid that i'll tumble down
take a moment and i realize
i need a little piece of thread
to put my paper wings back in place
oh the many things i seem to miss when i am sleeping
but we are so safe when we are dreaming
i think i'll dream all nite
i stood there shaking my head
in the room all by myself
the band has gone and i'm left all alone instead
i think i broke a nail
but that doesnt seem to phase me anymore
i'm the same girl you use to know
just a little different you'll soon see
oh the many things i seem to miss when i am sleeping
i thought i saw you but it was my dream
i wanted to breathe through someone else's skin
mine is getting too familiar to me
just one more second and i'm back again
frankly i'm a little scared to open my door for you
i dont want this world
to seem any bigger than it already is
and i'm not as tough as people think
my candle wax melts too
and what am i gonna do?
oh the many things i seem to miss when i am sleeping
set the alarm for two i'll get up at three
