Don't Need to Sleep Lyrics


I’ve been lower than low down
Only way is up right now
I can see a new dawning
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So far from home
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Been running so long

But tonight
I don’t need to close my eyes
I don’t need to fall asleep
I don’t need to sleep to dream, no, I don’t
Bent but not broken
Down but not hopeless
Eyes are wide open, I know it
Don’t need to sleep to dream

I won’t let ’em feed me lines
I won’t let ’em fake my lie
I won’t let ’em write my story
No, oh-oh-oh
These words are my own
Oh-oh-oh-oh
But I’m not alone
I’m not alone

But tonight
I don’t need to close my eyes
I don’t need to fall asleep
I don’t need to sleep to dream, no, I don’t
Bent but not broken
Down but not hopeless
Eyes are wide open, I know it
I don’t need to sleep to dream

Tonight (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Night

Bent but not broken
Down but not hopeless
Eyes are wide open, I know it
I don’t need to sleep to dream

I’ve been lower than low down
Only way is up right now
I can see a new dawning
