You say I'm letting life slip by
And star light's wasted on sleeping eyes
I stare all night into the sky
When all these stars have long since died

I've woken up a thousand times
Drawn the curtains, drawn the line
A thousand lives walk through my own
I stand still and stand alone

I wish I could believe
In something bigger
In the space that lies between
The good and bad here
The angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I just want some sleep

An end to this day's masquerade
A suitcase packed and put away
The mirror's useless in the night
I see myself between the light

I wish I could believe
In something bigger
In the space that lies between
The good and bad here
The angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I just want some time

The angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I don't want to sleep
