Sleeping At Last - Nine lyrics
[Sleeping At Last - Nine lyrics]
Who am I to say what any of this means
I have been sleepwalking
Since I was fourteen now as I write my song
I retrace my steps honestly, it’s easier
To let myself forget
Still, I check my vital signs
Choked up, I realize
I’ve been less than half myself
For more than half my life
Wake up fall in love again
Wage war on gravity
There’s so much worth fighting for you’ll see
Another domino falls either way
It looks like empathy
To understand all sides
But I’m just trying to find myself
Through someone else’s eyes
So show me what to do
To restart this heart of mine
How do I forgive myself
For losing so much time?
Wake up roll up your sleeves
There’s a chain reaction in your heart
Muscle memory remembering who you are
Stand up
And fall in love again and again and again
Wage war on gravity
There’s so much worth fighting for
You’ll see another domino falls
And another domino falls
A little at a time i feel more alive
I let the scale tip and feel all of it
It’s uncomfortable but right
We were born to try
To see each other through
To know and love ourselves and others well
Is the most difficult and meaningful
Work we’ll ever do
I have been sleepwalking
Since I was fourteen now as I write my song
I retrace my steps honestly, it’s easier
To let myself forget
Still, I check my vital signs
Choked up, I realize
I’ve been less than half myself
For more than half my life
Wake up fall in love again
Wage war on gravity
There’s so much worth fighting for you’ll see
Another domino falls either way
It looks like empathy
To understand all sides
But I’m just trying to find myself
Through someone else’s eyes
So show me what to do
To restart this heart of mine
How do I forgive myself
For losing so much time?
Wake up roll up your sleeves
There’s a chain reaction in your heart
Muscle memory remembering who you are
Stand up
And fall in love again and again and again
Wage war on gravity
There’s so much worth fighting for
You’ll see another domino falls
And another domino falls
A little at a time i feel more alive
I let the scale tip and feel all of it
It’s uncomfortable but right
We were born to try
To see each other through
To know and love ourselves and others well
Is the most difficult and meaningful
Work we’ll ever do
