lyrics

Sleepy bones won't get you where you wanted. don't know what you wanted anyway.
Sleepy Bones are sitting by the window. Waiting for the day and time to change.

Seem to think that better's not for everyone. guess you'd know best what you can waste.
Losing time won't help you have a better one when you can't recall the time and place.
Home alone to down another comfort, you didn't want to hear this anyway.
Sleepy Bones you know this isn't what you wanted but you haven't found another way

You'll be done soon, when you coming down?
Have it good, no matter what you found.
Yeah you might see everyone around,
They'll be done too, when you coming down?

Sleepy Bones won't get you out of everything, but they'll always get you out of great
Nestled far from when when it all was wonder leaves nothing close to comfort or to pain.
You should know that you're too far from perfect to ever try and get there in a day.
But the same thing goes for everybody here trying something better than the wait.

Sleepy bones won't get you where you wanted. We don’t get what we wanted every day.
Sleepy bones stop sitting by the window. Waiting doesn’t give the time to change.
Every day that passes won’t be back so you might as well think of this today
You should know you might get everything you wanted if you could just find another way

Yeah you might see everyone around,
They'll be done soon, when you coming down?
Have it good, no matter what you found.
You'll be done too, when you coming down?
