- Sleep Lyrics / with translationsHey there you, way out there in the distance
Can you hear me? Are you there?
I know it's late, so please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging, do you care?
So lay back, call off the attack
'Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek, a final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep, if I could sleep
Hey there you, way out there
Could you show me just a signal or a sign?
That after all, all these years that you've known me
And I'm not just wasting time
So lay back, call off the attack
'Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek, a final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep, if I could sleep
And as I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside and pray that I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Hey, there you way out there in the distance
Can you hear me? Are you there?
I know it's late, so please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging, do you care?
So lay back, call off the attack
'Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek, a final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep, if I could sleep
Hey there you, way out there
Could you show me just a signal or a sign?
That after all, all these years that you've known me
So lay back, call off the attack
'Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek, a final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep, if I could sleep
And as I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside and pray that I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Hey, there you way out there in the distance
