Mean Sleep
(Van Hunter/ Nikka Costa)
What can we scrape together
From our loveworn emotions
Handfuls of hate and the bittersweet devotion
'Cause I am pushing cobwebs and I'm floating into
myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might
rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things
might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back
to life
You could burn a thousand days
And I would need no other light
You could die a thousand ways
And I'd still love you back to life
Without a lover to wake me and my loneliness like
quicksand
Who will find me under this mean sleep
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might
rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things
might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back
to life
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back
to life
I am lost to the longing
I am moulded by the memory
Had to shut down half my mind
Just to steal the space you left behind
'Cause I am moving cobwebs and I'm floating into
myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might
rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things
might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back
to life
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back
to life
