Sleepless In Wonderland

She was perfectly alright
Not the kind you'd like to forget
But the kind who makes you forget
You're in a place like that

She didn't mind your silly talk
She didn't mind your false compliments
She didn't mind your eyes searching in hers
For someone she knew she wasn't

Her name was borrowed and worn like a shield
Her smell was a thousand places
But nowhere you close your eyes and see

You knew you had chosen well
When she broke the rule and kissed you back
And that's cool cause it's not that often
That you get to choose

And when she laid that sheet she could make you feel
That she was laying a red carpet for a dethroned king

Nothing was then beginning
Nothing was then slipping through your hands
Nothing could've had more meaning
Than the invisible trail of her fingers on your skin
Nothing more real

So many wounds, so many hopes
You’ve forgotten you had until you felt her touch

Nothing was then beginning
Nothing was then slipping through your hands
Nothing could've had more meaning
Than the invisible trail of her fingers on your skin

To hell with that trip to Egypt
If they've stood for centuries they can stand another year
Well maybe you can put in some extra hours
Or skip some meals

Maybe next time you'll ask her
About that bruise she couldn’t quite conceal
Maybe next time you'll pay her a cab
And lay your sheet
For a dethroned queen
And let the morning
Let the morning
Break the spell
If it can

Sleepless in Wonderland
Sleepless in Wonderland
