You say I'm letting life slip by
And star light's wasted on sleeping eyes
I stare all night into the sky
When all these stars have long since died

I've woken up a thousand times
Drawn the curtains, drawn the line
A thousand lives walk through my own
I stand still and stand alone

I wish I could believe
In something bigger
In the space that lies between
The good and bad here
The angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I just want some sleep

An end to this day's masquerade
A suitcase packed and put away
The mirror's useless in the night
I see myself between the light

I wish I could believe
In something bigger
In the space that lies between
The good and bad here
The angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I just want some time

The angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I don't want to sleep

I wish I could believe
In something bigger
In the space that lies between
The good and bad here
The angels and the thieves
Oh the angels and the thieves
Are drinking coffee
But I just want some sleep
