"Sleepwalking Through Christmas" lyrics

"Sleepwalking Through Christmas"

I'm sleepwalking through Christmas
Everybody thinks that I'm awake
I keep my eyes open
I'm eloquently spoken
Oh this might be the year
I make a change

I'm sleepwalking through Christmas
Dashing to the loo with my phone
To get just a sliver
Of a life that's gone un-lived with her
My love, what's it gonna take
And what will everybody think

Floating away
I spend my days
Out of body and far above the haze
Dreaming as I go through motions
Knowing she's an ocean away
I'm sleepwalking

Oh why do I keep thinking
Dreams might leave me alone
Why am I always dying just to please
Lying to make it easy
When being true
Can be the greatest gift of all

I'm sleepwalking through Christmas
On the eve of being brave
The table's fallen silent
This might be the year
