Sleep It Off
By Tristan Fox
(Verse 1)
We need to sleep off the summer,
To make sense of it,
There's a heavy air - it lingers,
My body aches to submit
(Pre-chorus)
I'm built to escape,
And I want to fly away,
Summer's left its toll,
Darkness encroaching on day
(Chorus)
Can we start it over?
Skip back two or three tracks?
With sweet Lady Hindsight,
The soft wind at our backs?
Time is like a match,
Once struck disappears,
The fire's still smoking,
But nobody's here
(Verse 2)
We need to sleep off the summer,
To forget what came to pass,
The script was ripped up - we had to freestyle,
Hands reaching in darkness,
No reason, no guile
(Pre-chorus)
I'm built to escape,
And I want to fly away,
Summer's left its toll,
Darkness is smothering day
(Chorus)
Can we start it over?
Skip back two or three tracks?
With sweet Lady Hindsight,
The soft wind at our backs?
Time is like a match,
Once struck disappears,
The fire's still smoking,
But nobody's here
(Bridge)
We need to sleep off the summer,
But I don't want to close my eyes,
We need to sleep off the summer,
But I don't want to close my eyes,
We need to sleep off the summer,
But I won't close my eyes
(Chorus)
Can we start it over?
Skip back two or three tracks?
With sweet Lady Hindsight,
The soft wind at our backs?
Time is like a match,
Once struck disappears,
The fire's still smoking,
But nobody's here
