Intro

 

Verse 1

Maybe I could be the one they adore
that could be my reputation 
It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore,
I'm an educated virgin 

Pre-chorus

Sleepwalker don't be shy
Don't open your eyes... tonight,
You'll be the one who defends my life, when I'm dead asleep dreaming.

Chorus

Cupid don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
Never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me
God only knows that I tried

Instrumental

 

Verse 2

Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim,
Just don't leave me at the window,
I could be the one to be your next best friend,
You may need someone to hold you,

Pre-chorus

Sleepwalker take this knife,
You may see someone... tonight,
you'll be the one that saves my life, when I'm dead asleep dreaming

Chorus

Cupid don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
Never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me
God only knows that I tried

Bridge

I'm in your movie, And everyone looks sad,
I can hear you, Your voice in the laugh track,
But you never saw my best scene.
The one where I sleep... Sleepwalk into your dreams

Instrumental

 

Pre-chorus

Now sleepwalker, what's my line,
It's only a matter of time until I,
Learn to open up my eyes, when I'm dead asleep dreaming,

Chorus

Cupid don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
Never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me 
Now the sleepwalker in me, 
Now the sleepwalker in me
God only knows that I've tried.
