Are You Sleeping

Are you sleeping,

I tapped you on the shoulder I been practicing all day,

Rehearsed the lines over and over

If I had half a heart, I'd let you keep on dreaming

Who am I to storm the stage and steal your show?

Are you sleeping,

Maybe I could just pretend that I'm the night watchman and you're the star of India

I'd keep a flashlight and a gun and while you lay there shining, without even trying

How much time would have to pass before I had to break the glass and keep you for myself,

And when the silence starts to scream and when you're running through the streets

Could I call you mine, all mine

Are you sleeping

And if the only thing you heard was just the space between the words I guess that's good enough Someday I'll look you in the eye and let the floodgates open wide but not tonight, no

Are you sleeping,

I tapped you on the shoulder I been practicing all day,

Rehearsed the lines over and over and if I had half a heart,

I'd let you keep on dreaming

Who am I to storm the stage or steal the show?
