Sleeping In

(album: Rock Bottom - 2021)

I put a Christmas tree up in my living room
'Cause it helps to make believe there's something
I'm looking forward to
And I've re-read the scriptures of better days yet to come
But I don't believe them the way that my mother does

And I've been sleeping in again
I don't know how long it's been
I can't tell you the day of the week or what month it is
'Cause I'm sleeping in again

I told the world I was somebody stronger than this
It's funny how being so low shows you how high you've been
And I am not the person I thought that I was in my head
But it's hard to be anyone when you can't get out of bed

And I've been sleeping in again
I don't know how long it's been
I can't tell you the day of the week or what month it is
'Cause I'm sleeping in again

But maybe next year I'll be just fine
Maybe next year I'll go outside
Maybe next year I won't always be so tired
But right now

I'm sleeping in
'Cause it makes no difference
There's a whole world just waiting
If I could get out of bed
But I won't see it
'Cause I'm sleeping in again
