Description
This song was written in the middle of 2009 and was placed 5th in a prestigious song writing competition. Sleep is about an experience, a relationship and an obsession. You can take what you want from the song because it has varying degrees of meanings. This song is maybe not Skins worthy but it's worth a shot, and I love the Skins series.. a lot. Thank you, Sophie Joy. ps, recorded at York Street Studios in Auckland. Thanks to Hayden and Captain Hook, the sound engineers.
Lyrics
Sleep by Sophie Joy Mixed memories of one night stands too far away to comprehend your eyes, or why you came around. Hanging off the balcony, I knew that you were using me for what you thought I'd never be. And if I stay I know you'll say Just come again another day, How can I refuse. I'll wait until the weekend comes, still waiting for the message from you, from you Chorus: Why am I waiting for you An unrequited breakthrough You're in my mind and in my sight So I can barely sleep tonight Just let me sleep tonight The frost sets in and I can't feel my fingers when you finally reveal The truth behind those eyes They're black then blue then white then red so I can't process what you said It's all in my head The words one rolling off my tongue are strangled by my trembling lungs They die, they swallow all my pride It's not like you to compensate I feel so helpless I can't help but hating you, hating you Chorus Bridge: You're why I feel so alive, Please don't make me say goodbye Chorus
