and somehow my tongue's tied

oh, i feel so tired
i cannot hardly keep open my eyes
my thoughts are scattered & i cannot say a word
and i can't seem to remember anything i've learned

well, do you have some of those days
when you can't be who you wanna be?
when you just need to close your eyes
pull the covers up so high and drift away?

and sleep
so soundly
and dream profoundly
cast all your cares on the only thing that you really need
and sleep so soundly

now i feel so light
my sense of movement's slowed
and somehow my tongue's tied
my thoughts are shattered & they're making stars in the sky
and i've never felt so speechless in my life

well, do you have some of those days
when you just need to be?
when you just need to shut your mouth
and close your eyes
breathe in & out
and drift away?

and sleep so soundly
just dream profoundly
cast all your cares on the only thing that you really need
and sleep so soundly
