about

'If I Sleep' is an alternative rock song with bedroom pop and contemporary indie influences about the struggles of insomnia and self-identity

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where am I?
I have lost myself
Who am I?
My forgotten sense?
Am I nothing waiting for a moment?
Is it something out there that’s out of focus?

[Pre-chorus]
Spent some time thinking about
All the mistakes catching up to me now
I’m too tired but I don’t wanna leave
I’ll miss the best part if I sleep
Going round in circles, I’m losing myself
Far from the start, now I’m somewhere else
I’m too tired but I don’t wanna leave
I’ll miss the best part if I sleep

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Everyday I’m dreaming
Another memory of the emptiness
Inside of me and all the possibilities
Tired of all the dreaming
Instead I’ll focus on breathing
In and out, I’m running out
Now I’m running out of time

[Pre-chorus]
Spent some time thinking about
All the mistakes catching up to me now
I’m too tired but I don’t wanna leave
I’ll miss the best part if I sleep
Going round in circles, I’m losing myself
Far from the start now I’m somewhere else
I’m too tired but I don’t wanna leave
I’ll miss the best part if I sleep

[Chorus]
Won’t you save me now
I’m off the ground
Please save me now
I’m off the ground
Yeah I’m off the ground
Off the ground

[Bridge]
Sometimes, somewhere
Something out there
Calls my name and
Calls it again (again)
Do I risk who I should be
for who I wanna be?
Cos I don’t wanna live for my death,
I wanna live for my own life

[Guitar Solo]

Chorus]
Won’t you save me now
I’m off the ground
Please save me now
I’m off the ground
Ground!
Won’t you save me now
I’m off the ground
Please save me now
I’m off the ground
Ground!
