I saw a picture of you Hanging in an empty hallway I heard a voice that I knew, and I couldn't walk away It sent me back to the end of everything I tasted all, I tasted all the tears Again Outside the rain's pouring down There's not a drop that hits me Scream at the sky but no sound Is leavin' my lips It's like I can't even feel After the way you've touched me I'm not asleep But I'm not awake After the way you loved me I can't turn this around I keep running into walls that I can't break down I said, I just wander around With my eyes wide shut because of you I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker Let me outta this dream Everywhere that I go, I see another memory And all the places we used to know, they're always there to haunt me I walk around and I feel so lost and lonely You're everything that I want But you don't want me I can't turn this around I keep running into walls that I can't break down I say I just wander around With my eyes wide shut because of you I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker Let me outta of this dream Dream Let me outta of this dream I can't turn this around I keep running into walls that I can't break down I say I just wander around With my eyes wide shut because of you I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker I'm a sleepwalker Walker Walker Let me outta of this dream
