i found a place with the sun on my face
and the windows rolled down
it starts to fade as the gold turns to grey
i wish i could make it stay around
i'd like to buy us a little more time
if i could make this mine
if that would make this mine

but it's a lonely place in my head tonight
and all the lights burn red tonight
as i try so hard not to complain
but this quiet little riot just ain't the sane way

you've got a real job and i'm just that slob
with my bottle, my books, my guitar
but you're getting paid to play somebody's maid
while i play at becoming some star
but i'd like to buy us a little more time
if i could make you mine,
if that would make you mine

but it's a lonely place in my head tonight
and all the lights burn read tonight
as i try so hard not to complain
but this quiet little riot just ain't the sane way

if happiness is a headspace, do you know the way?
and if love is a place can i stay there with you?
don't want me to lose any sleep over you
you don't want me to lose any sleep over you
but it's the least i could do

he says it's easy to love me
it's easy to be free
it's easy to be ourselves
but if easy is the only thing keeping us here
it would be easy for somebody else
and he's got a ticket, got a ticket to get out of jail free
but it's not a ticket, not a ticket to a claim on me

but if happiness is a headspace, can you lead the way?
and if love is a place can i stay there with you
don't want me to lose any sleep over you
you don't want me to lose any sleep over you
but it's the least you could do

because these lips they're tired from never getting used
and these hands, they're not sure how to hold onto you
and the space between fingers, it longs to be filled
like the cold, crisp sheets that are giving me these chills
we can sleep when we're dead
won't you be with me instead?
we can sleep when we're dead
won't you be with me instead?

(show me the place where you feel safe
we can stay awake, we can stay awake
we can sleep when we're dead)

'cause if happiness is a headspace than you lead the way
and if love is a place? well you know i will stay there with you
don't want me to lose any sleep over you
you don't want me to lose any sleep over you
i'm not scared to lose a little sleep over you
i'm not scared to lose a little sleep over you
its the least i could do
its the least we could do

(show me the place where you feel safe
we can stay awake, we can stay awake
we can sleep when we're dead)
