Sleeping In

You were the victim of my false perception

It just occurred to me

I’d like to offer my recognition

That ain’t how it’s supposed to be

I assigned you an untrue persona

A shallow reflection to see

Finally, I got to know ya

That book is losing its sleeve

There’s no more weeping

I found a friend

Worth keeping and believing in

The dirt is settling down

The falling rain is free

The dogs are barking, your car is parking

Right up next to me

You say there’s no way of knowing

Where you went and lost your keys

I know right where to find ‘em

That’s the way it’s supposed to be

The morning’s creeping

Around the bend

And I’m sleeping in

I’m sleeping in

And I know we can navigate

Negotiate our time and space

I’m in pace with you
