Lyrics
I see ghosts in the curtains
And spirits in the walls
I used to fear the shadows
That lingered in the hallway
Late at night
Told myself it was just a trick of the light
So why do I still feel the need to hide?
I see lies in the corner of your
Mouth when you smile
I used to fear the words
That slipped out into the wild
Late at night
Told myself everything would be better in the light
So why do I still feel the need to hide?
How can I sleep
With this company I keep
How can I sleep
When you tell me it's only in my dream
How can I sleep
With this company I keep
How can I sleep
When you tell me it's nothing but a dream
I see storms in the clouds
That start to darken your eyes
I see the crash of lightning
Reflected in mine
Late at night
Told myself keep 'em closed to not be blinded by the light
Oh why do I still feel the need to hide?
How can I sleep
With this company I keep
How can I sleep
When you tell me it's only in my dream
How can I sleep
With this company I keep
How can I sleep
When you tell me it's nothing but a dream
How can I sleep
With this company I keep
How can I sleep
When you tell me it's nothing but a dream
