Hit me with a truck and put me out a little while
I don’t wanna die, or stay alive
Let me slip into a dream, this world can’t begin to compete
I’ve never really liked reality

So mister Sandman please
Grant me just a little sleep
Oh mister sandman please
I’ve turned and I have tossed and I have counted sheep and lost
Oh mister sandman

The snow lingers in the air, it’s barely falling at all
And I linger in my bed only to stall
This city I call home is still as foreign as can be
Naked and exposed steel and concrete

So mister Sandman please
Grant me just a little sleep
Oh mister sandman please
I’ve turned and I have tossed and I have counted sheep and lost
Oh mister sandman

This overcrowded world makes my apartment seem so bare
Sometimes I wonder if I’m even there
The snow lingers in the air, it’s barely falling at all
And I linger in my bed, only to stall

So mister Sandman please
Grant me just a little sleep
Oh mister sandman please
I’ve turned and I have tossed and I have counted sheep and lost
Oh mister sandman

Hit me with a truck and put me out a little while
I don’t wanna die or stay alive
I don’t wanna die or stay alive
I don’t wanna die or stay alive
