In My Sleep

Take a look out the living room
I swear I saw something there
It's like someone ran by
But there's no one outside
You were watching me only sitting
Thank you for visiting, although invisibly

I like that you made a point to say your goodbyes
At least you tried, but when it's like this
Taken by surprise, I jumped to my feet
It's not like I don't already miss you
But listen, please: I can handle meeting
Anywhere but in my sleep

Maybe a couple people believe me
But the rest just roll their eyes
Hands under my knees
Dragged forcefully
I know you couldn't sense
It's not malevolence

I like that you made a point to say your goodbyes
At least you tried, but when it's like this
Taken by surprise, I jumped to my feet
It's not like I don't already miss you
But listen, please: I can handle meeting
Anywhere but in my sleep

Lately I'm far from grand
But I'm not hanging halfway in between
Is that ok? 'cause when it's like this
Taken by surprise, I jump to my feet
If we can hang out, I know just the place
So listen, please: You can find me me dangling
From the mattress in my sleep
