Sleep It Off

Chorus:
I might as well just sleep it off
wishful thinking's got my wires crossed, whoa
when I'm desperate and alone
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go

So I'll just drive and disappear
and maybe if I'm lucky then by this time next year
no one, I know, will know my name
it's either change or go or I'll explode today

I'll leave a note on my machine
unplug the phone and finish packing all of my things
I found a photograph of me
it's been such a slow decay, day to day
I don't even recognize my own face

I had another breakdown
and I'm floating face down

(Chorus)

I got to sleep it off
the sinking feeling of always feeling lost
has it been that long
six years worth of always being wrong

I met an old friend out on the street
traded stories and out of date memories
and she has a photograph of me
it's been such a slow decay, day to day
did we seem much happier in those days

And it's been such a slow decay, day to day
I don't even recognize my face
I know, I know, I know how low I'd go (x4)
