Tyler Joseph - Taken By Sleep lyrics

This is a story about a scarlet letter... yeah It just hit me as I laid my head down No one around in the dark cold night, I hear a sound In my head repeat track of everything you've ever said Must be something, but it's nothing, so I just go back to bed It's 4, crack the door to the hallways in my dreams But it seems my hallway keeps closing in on me Forcing me out, making me think about you and how you're gone I see 4:05 in teary eyes and then I write this song And I just can't believe it has to be this way You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day I saw your face, I saw your light, you ran the race, you fought the fight But now it's all being torn down for me tonight And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say But I need to know if you've thought of me at all today Cause every day walk past the place you lived 5 days of the week And now it's 10 after 4 and I am taken by sleep Spending hours on end, deciding what I'd say to a friend if I ever saw him again Cause I don't if I know, don't want to come across the wrong way And I don't know if I know, but I know I want to see your face today And somebody told me they saw you cry and break down Do you know how hard that is to get around and think about? It's not like you to let emotions get the best of things Especially when everything is hanging in the air we breathe And I just can't believe it has to be this way You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race, you fought the fight But now it's all being torn down for me tonight And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say But I need to know if you thought of me at all today Cause every day walk past the place you lived 5 days of the week And now it's 10 after 4 and I am taken by sleep I'll sing a song to you, my friend I'll sing a song to you, my friend I'll sing a song to you, my friend I'll sing a song to you, my-- Let's go! Friend, yeah, yeah, yeah I'll sing a song to you my friend I'll sing a song to you my friend I'll sing a song to you my friend I'll sing a song to you my friend
