lyrics

Last night as I was drifting off to sleep
Trying not to worry too hard about today
Morning seemed far off but now that it’s upon me
This bed is paradise, if only I could stay

The air trickles in my window
But I will not be troubled by the chill
If I don’t make a sound, I won’t have to lie
As long as I lie perfectly still

Too awake and waiting for the bedside radio
Any minute now they’ll be on the air
To tell me all the news someone thinks that I should know
But no one tells me why they think that I should care

And it’s so warm under this blanket
A few more minutes left in peace until
I’m dragged into the daylight, but I’m good for now
As long as I lie perfectly still

The world outside is hidden in a cloud
It isn’t very easy to see through
I could wait for the sun to burn off the fog
But let’s face it, the fog’s in me too

Sometimes the struggle just defeats me
I should try, but I don’t think I will
Here I stay so I don’t have to face it yet
As long as I lie perfectly still
