Billy Harvey Crossing The Desert Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm floating, I'm not floating
I'm falling, I'm being pulled under the water
Stalled out speech, good for nothing, good for a laugh
I'm calling, I'm not calling, I'm lost for words
I'm zipped up tight
I'm sleeping, I'm not sleeping
I'm dreaming, I'm up all night

[Verse 2]
I'm [?], I'm dumb, I'm dead-stopped
I'm locked up, I'm numb
I'm dreaming, I'm not dreaming
I'm slipping, I'm glued to my past
Where everything is too much or half the price you'd expect to pay
So water the horses, we're crossing the desert today
Ooh, we're crossing the desert today

[Chorus]
Jump up, jump up, jump up sleepyhead
Jump up, jump up, jump up sleepyhead
It's time to go

[Verse 3]
I'm running, I'm not running
I'm heaving, I'm sobbing like a baby
I'm taller, I'm shorter
A Ferris wheel transporter through time
A nuclear blast, a flash of the future thrown
Forgetting about what is mine Missing what is not my own
Ooh, I'm missing what is not my own

[Chorus]
Jump up, jump up, jump up sleepyhead
Jump up, jump up, jump up sleepyhead
It's time to go

We can make it
We can make it, I know
We can make it
We can make it, let's go

[Verse 4]
I'm winning, I'm moving
I'm juicing, I'm improving my chances
I'm floating, I'm voting
I'm electing a new president
I'm running, I'm driving
I'm stalled at the speed of my thoughts
I'm trying to remember all the things I haven't got
Like the ocean fills the hollow of the mountain turned upside down
Water fills my eyes, I have to cry to get it out
I'm doing all I can to say that I did it when I'm done
I'm saving all your letters so I'll understand who we've become

[Chorus]
Jump up, jump up, jump up sleepyhead
Jump up, jump up, jump up sleepyhead
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go
