Long nights, the cigarette drives
You've got a tight grip on my heart, it's been a slow dive
Highways shining in my eyes
My glasses fog up when the cold from the window
Meets the steam my brain's blowing
When the thought of her gets old
Oh, she gets so old
I can't keep my head screwed on straight, they say
I've got a little trouble in my brain
These words that I think
I just cannot seem to say
You said last summer that we'd grow happier with each other
And maybe it's just me, but I just can't see
How I'm supposed to be
When you won't let me be free
Just let me be
I can't keep my head screwed on straight, you see
I've got a little trouble in my brain
These truths that I think
I just cannot seem to say
Don't tell me how to be
Cause I'm too busy living in my dreams
You think that my thoughts are too dizzy
But I'm long gone, I'm running in my sleep
I'm running in my sleep
It's been a slow dive for many, many weeks
And I've got thoughts I just cannot delete
I'm running from me in my sleep
