R.E.M. Sleep

I should’ve kept you at a distance
Now everything else is so tasteless
Still, a dose of you is all I need
Like every night it’s hard to breathe

‘Cause lately this is all that I’ve been thinking ‘bout
Think that only your touch can break me out
Of this never ending dream
Oh baby don’t you see?

It’s you and your lips that’s giving me an exit from this state
And I know I’ll never find a replacement
(Oh god, I should’ve kept you at a distance)

Feeling like I’m stuck in this R.E.M. sleep
Can’t seem to pull myself out of this dream
‘Cause I’ve been feeling so fucked up lately
Baby I need your love to wake me

Think I’ve been stuck in this R.E.M. sleep
Can’t seem to pull myself out of this dream
‘Cause I’ve been feeling so fucked up lately
Baby I need your love to wake me

Why can’t I put up the resistance babe?
Seems like my body just won’t listen
Whenever you come around
Feel my arms reaching out

And I can’t help but let you take a hold of me
Even though it always gets so hard to breathe
We can do this again and again
‘Cause I’d rather regret than pretend
That I’m fine here without you

You’re still my one exit from this place
I’m wishing you’d say the same ‘bout me too
(But that ain’t true)

Feeling like I’m stuck in this R.E.M. sleep
Can’t seem to pull myself out of this dream
‘Cause I’ve been feeling so fucked up lately
Baby I need your love to wake me

Think I’ve been stuck in this R.E.M. sleep
Can’t seem to pull myself out of this dream
‘Cause I’ve been feeling so fucked up lately
Baby I need your love to wake me
