Molly Venter - Sleep at Night lyrics

She steps outside and takes a breath like it's the last breath before she goes among the circus of performers with smiles on their faces and says 'I don't belong here I don't belong here' Well she's marking off her checklist and making conversation and forcing her smile today. She cannot find a reason for her to be unhappy, but suddenly she's lost for words to say. And everybody feels like he doesn't belong among all the happy faces sometimes And everybody feels like he's the only one who can't sleep at night. He hands her a strong drink, leans in too close for comfort before she can say goodbye. Do you want to know a secret, learn to say I love you without needing to hear a reply. Cause I have lost many friends, there is only so much I can write in a letter and if I had to do over again there is only one person I would have called and now, finish your drink dear and I will walk you home, finish your drink dear and I will walk you home. In the hours before breakfast with the boys she is losing her patience she is losing her poise. I am tired, she thinks, and I'm late. I don't remember warm weather, thanksgiving's not forever. I used to work pretty damn hard and now I don't know where I lost my ambition but I just want to wake up one morning and not worry about my dress size or my GPA or just how long it's been, just how long it's been. And everybody feels like he doesn't belong among all the happy faces sometimes, and everybody feels like he's the only one who can't sleep at night. It's not until she walks out far from any street light she notices her hands are tied, it's not until the wind stops that she knows by her own breath she needs to be alone to sigh and it's strange how thick silence feels in the air, oh and it's strange how thick silence feels in the air. And everybody feels like... everybody feels like.... And I, I'll let you walk alone he says, but I'd rather take you home to bed and she thinks well it'd be so nice to go home with somebody, yes it'd be so nice to go home with somebody, tonight.
