Sleepwalker
(Smith)

I wear regret like an old worn coat
Never kept me warm
But it's all that I know
And all my words on broken wings
Fail to deliver
All the tender things that I meant to say to you

How hard could it be to admit
That I was wrong, I was wrong
These old wounds never seem to forget
The sting and the burn, oh God help me turn
You gotta help me to turn around

I've been walking in my sleep
Grace and mercy never roam this deep
I've got burning bridges all around my dreams
Wait, no
Don't go
I'm just walking in my sleep

I'm the man with the Midas touch
But what was golden soon turns to dust
I won't let reason get in my way
Fettered and blind, I'm a waterless dive
Don't you dare to be kind to me

I've been walking in my sleep
Grace and mercy never roam this deep
I've got burning bridges all around my dreams
Wait, no
Don't go
I'm just walking in my sleep
