The Wallflowers - Sleepwalker Lyrics

Maybe I could be the one they adore,
That could be my reputation,
It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore,
I'm an educated virgin,
Now sleepwalker don't be shy,
Don't open your eyes tonight,
You'll be the one,
That defends my life
While I'm dead asleep dreaming,

Cupid don't draw back your bow,
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know,
I'll never be your valentine,
The sleepwalker in me
And God only knows that I've tried,

Let me in, Let me drown or learn how to swim,
Just don't leave me at the window,
I could be the one to be your next best friend,
You may need someone to hold you,
Sleepwalker take this knife,
You may see someone tonight,
You'd be the one who saves my life,
When I'm dead asleep dreaming,

Now cupid don't draw back your bow,
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know,
Never be your valentine,
The sleepwalker in me
God only knows that I've tried,
I'm in your movie,
And everyone looks sad,
I can hear
Your voice in the laughtrack,
But you never saw my best scene,
The one where I sleep,
I sleepwalk into your dream,

Now sleepwalker,
What's my line,
It's only a matter of time until I,
Learn to open up my eyes,
When I'm dead asleep dreaming,

Now cupid don't draw back your bow,
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know,
I'll Never be your valentine,
The sleepwalker in me,
Now the sleepwalker in me,
Now the sleepwalker in me,
And God only knows that I've tried.
