Lyrics
Verse 1:
I, living alone, I must be dreaming
Try and make it your own, I will be watching
Chorus 1:
Why is there somebody else?
Sleeping in my bed, in my clothes, in my house
Why is there somebody else?
In my bed, in my clothes, in my house
Verse 2:
Don't leave me alone, let's take over the world
I promise we'll make it
Silly girls playing guitars
But they don't know who we are
fuckin' rock superstars
Chorus 2:
I love it so much I suffer
Sleeping in my bed, in my clothes, in my house
Why is there somebody else?
Sleeping in my bed, in my clothes, in my house
Bridge:
I promise we'll make it
(i living alone, i must be dreaming)
Chorus 1 repeats.
