Sleepy Head Lyrics by Toby Johnson

Shapes in Shadows - EP

2016

[Verse 1]
We'll fight the fire, with the flame
We've walked this road before
We'll walk the road again
And the horizon, was blocked with haze
I felt vacant, like a letter with no resting place

[Pre-Chorus]
I have no idea where I'm going
And not a memory of where I've been
She lives in a house made of glass
And I keep throwing stones at her windows
Away from the wars and mistakes is a room
And she sleeps alone solo

[Chorus]
Wake up sleepy head she says to me
We have a city on our door step
And a set of feet to keep me
High in the clouds over the busy streets
I'm in love when my eyes are open
When I'm asleep my dreams take over, yeah

[Verse 2]
I fear the future and how it's told
Will someone love me
Or will I die with no heart at all?
I've drowned in emotion
Beneath a heavy stone
I care for people
Although I have my own broken bones

[Pre-Chorus]
I have no idea what I'm doing
And not a memory of what I've done
I'm playing with fire all the time
And I don't give a damn for the outcome
I walk with a skip in my step cause I know that someday I'll be someone

[Chorus]
Wake up sleepy head she says to me
We have a city on our door step
And a set of feet to keep me
High in the clouds over the busy streets
I'm in love when my eyes are open
When I'm asleep my dreams take over, yeah

[Chorus]
Wake up sleepy head she says to me
We have a city on our door step
And a set of feet to keep me
High in the clouds over the busy streets
I'm in love when my eyes are open
When I'm asleep my dreams take over, yeah
