Paper Route – Sing You To Sleep lyrics

You wouldn't be up at night
if it wasn't for Christmas lights
this year has moved in unexpected ways
where the pillow should reach your head
there's a sorrow that comes instead
and stays with you until the morning light

dreams are hatching, no one's watching
days are endless, never finished
(sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep)
want the past, but you can't have it
silent blessing, finally resting

they all try to search for you
but there's nowhere to send them to
the family room is filled with empty space
the television starts to sing
but it doesn't say anything
and no one's saying anything at all

(sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep)
dreams are hatching, no one's watching
days are endless, never finished
want the past, but you can't have it
silent blessing, finally resting

(sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep)
burn the bridge that leads to places
where ghosts from Christmas never left us

each new year brings hope and meaning
