[Verse 1]
I know I've seen your face somewhere
Selling something, some big idea
I know I've seen that vacant stare
Selling sunsets for somebody else
You find yourself asking yourself
"What is any of it worth?"
You find yourself looking up at night
From the bottom of the earth
[Chorus]
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore?
And oh, did your sheep start jumping?
They grow out their teeth, did they need a little something more
Than this?
[Verse 2]
The taste of trouble on your lips
'Cause now they're biting at your thoughts
You tell yourself just to turn away
But you know you've already lost
The smell of rain when it’s on the wind
Will never be paid in full
You try in vain to account for this mess
And everything that you stole
I know I've seen your face somewhere
Selling something, some big idea
I know I've seen that vacant stare
Selling sunsets for somebody else
You find yourself asking yourself
"What is any of it worth?"
You find yourself looking up at night
From the bottom of the earth
[Chorus]
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore?
And oh, did your sheep start jumping?
They grow out their teeth, did they need a little something more
Than this?
[Verse 2]
The taste of trouble on your lips
'Cause now they're biting at your thoughts
You tell yourself just to turn away
But you know you've already lost
The smell of rain when it’s on the wind
Will never be paid in full
You try in vain to account for this mess
And everything that you stole
