No more will I play along And no more will tell myself how it's gonna be from now on 'Cause I've been stalling in between And I've been dragging my feet Making bets that this isn't happening And I sleepwalk around two feet off the ground While the real world is trying to reach me And when the rain comes down I see it all now Standing on the great divide Of some collission between ordinary and imaginary life And this could be your lucky day 'cause if tomorrow ever comes You'll be looking, looking the other way And you sleepwalk around two feet off the ground While the real world is trying to reach you With stories that you already knew It pulls you and pushes you And you sleepwalk around two feet off the ground While the real world is trying to reach you When the rain comes down you'll find yourself now Nowhere
