The song is about the stage of sleep where the line is blurred between consciousness and unconsciousness. The narrator is not necessarily dreaming, but is not experiencing the events of the song. The partner written about is not physically present.
The main riff of this track seems to revolve aroun...
[Verse 1]
Drifting in and out of sleep
Is my favourite state to be
I can see you next to me
And it is lovely
[Refrain]
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
[Chorus]
I can feel you touch me
And I can hear you breathing
Please no one wake me
When I'm sleep drifting
[Verse 2]
Drifting in and out of sleep
Reality begins to fray
You'll become so close to me
In a hotel far away
[Refrain]
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
[Verse 3]
I can know you're right here
And I can catch your crying tear
We can be so close, dear
When I'm sleep drifting
[Verse 1]
Drifting in and out of sleep
Is my favourite state to be
I can see you next to me
And it is lovely
[Refrain]
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
[Chorus]
I can feel you touch me
And I can hear you breathing
Please no one wake me
When I'm sleep drifting
[Verse 3]
I can know you're right here
And I can catch your crying tear
We can be so close, dear
When I'm sleep drifting
[Chorus]
I can feel you touch me
And I can hear you breathing
Please no one wake me
When I'm sleep drifting
[Refrain]
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
Sleep drifter, sleep drifter
[Chorus]
I can feel you touch me...
And I can hear you breathing...
Please no one wake me...
When I'm sleep drifting
