Half Step Down

Intro

2x

I've been sleeping in for days,

 'Cause when I am awake,

 I will have to face my life.

And I'm hoping it's a phase.

 The walls that I create

 Can only make it seem alright.

 And I get carried away like I'm the only one

 Who's ever felt the way that I do,

 But I can hear You say, "You're not the only one.

 Everybody hopes to get through."

 And it's got me sleeping in.

 Every day God, it's the same thing.

 Yeah, You caught me sleeping in.

 I'm still hiding; I'm still waiting.

 I need You here with me to face the world outside

 'Cause I'm tired of sleeping in.

(Repeat chords in 1st verse)

I've been waking up with fear,

'Cause all that I can hear

Is the ringing of alarms downtown.

It's been going on for years,

But You have made it clear

That I am not alone in this crowd.

 And I get carried away like I'm the only one

 Who's ever felt the way that I do,

 But I can hear You say, "You're not the only one.

 Everybody hopes to get through."

 And it's got me sleeping in.

 Every day God, it's the same thing.

 Yeah, You caught me sleeping in.

 I'm still hiding; I'm still waiting.

 I need You here with me to face the world outside

 'Cause I'm tired of sleeping in.

Open up my eyes.

 I'm tired of sleeping in

 In a world that's dying to wake up.

 And it's got me sleeping in.

 Yeah, it’s got me sleeping in.

 And it's got me sleeping in.

 Every day God, it's the same thing.

 Yeah, You caught me sleeping in.

 I'm still hiding; I'm still waiting.

 I need You here with me to face the world outside

 'Cause I'm tired of sleeping in.

 'Cause I'm tired of sleeping in.

 Yeah, I'm done with sleeping in.
