Destiny turned her face Nightmares and violent shapes State of dreaming Has left me numb Blue eyes and wandering lips True lies with fingertips Hidden tales of forbidden Love You've left me miserable Miserable Miserable Mis-er-a-ble Love You've left me miserable Miserable Miserable Mis-er-a-ble Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Visions of better times Kingdoms and lilac wine Why did God fail To improve us Teardrops of acid rain Burning down through my veins Can't I just sleep for now Now Despite my fears I dance for you And did what others knew I Would care Would wait And live again More desperate Desperate Yeah Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Yeah Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking (Now despite my fears I dance for you) Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking (Oh would care would wait and live again) Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking Maybe we're just sleepwalking
