"Second Sleep" lyrics

Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don't wake up, oh

I have the sense not to make a mess
I fall in love just to hurt myself
Mm-mm, mm-mm

Time to toughen up
Gotta get some help
Sun's coming up, put the coffee on, and shudder on out the door

Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don't wake up, it's all been a bad dream

Yeah, world's waking up
It's not the proto days
No sleeping in
Call the cops, drug me up, send the men off to war

Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don't wake up, it's all been a bad—

Understanding
That love is so demanding
In the city
Yeah, love is when you're winning, yeah
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don't wake up, it's all been a bad dream

I'm suffering
Do you feel this cold?
I'll warm you up
When we get to hell

Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don't wake up, I'll see you in my dreams

It's not natural
Yeah, and I really need some help
Oh, take it back
Tear the city down, don't build it up anymore

Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don't wake up, it's all been—
Oh, shut up

So far
To get to where you are

Understanding
That love is so demanding
Oh, in the city
Yeah, love is when you're bleeding, yeah
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
