"Sleep It Off" lyrics

"Sleep It Off"

I might as well just sleep it off
Wishful thinking's got my wires crossed
When I'm desperate and alone
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go

So I'll just drive and disappear
And maybe if I'm luckier than now, this time next year
No one I know will know my name
It's either change or go or I'll explode today

I'll leave a note on my machine
Unplug the phone and finish packing all my things
I found a photograph of me
It's been such a slow decay day to day
I don't even recognize my own face

I had another breakdown
And I'm floating face down

I might as well just sleep it off
Wishful thinking's got my wires crossed
When I'm desperate and alone
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go

I'm gonna sleep it off
This sinking feeling of always feeling lost
Hasn't been that long
Six years' worth of always being wrong

I met an old friend out on the street
Traded stories and out-of-date memories
And she has a photograph of me
It's been such a slow decay day to day
Did we seem much happier in those days?

It's been such slow decay
Day to day I don't even recognize my face

I know, I know, I know how low I'd go
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go
