Sleepwalking
Jascha Richter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight is a late night gonna cross some line
I never stop dreaming of the Promised Land
It's all gonna work out the way that I planned
Sleepwalking into you bed
I can't get you out of my head
Now there's no way to stop me
I'm gonna be dancing into you arms
I'm gonna convince you with all of my charms
Chorus:
Sleepwalking into you bed
I can't get you out of my head
Now there's no way to stop me
Unless you wake me up
Bridge:
Ahhh baby I miss you so
Ahhh ain't gonna let you go
Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking
The only way to stop me
Is to give me your sweet love
Chorus:
Sleepwalking into you bed
I can't get you out of my head
Now there's no way to stop me
Unless you wake me up
