Running In My Sleep

Emmelie de Forest

Nightmares have a hold on me
Will this fever ever leave
And wake me from my sleep again?

Careful, I am somewhere else
And I’m walking in the dark, concealing all my scars
I see a new horizon

Over the hills and far away
It’s not too late to escape
Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Over the hills and far away
We’re getting nowhere playing safe
Yeah, yeah, eh yeah
Running in my sleep

A chess game all in black and white
In a charade that made me numb
Where black knights keep me from the day

Angels singing as I fall
From a staircase leading to beyond with hypnotizing songs
Leading to new horizons

Over the hills and far away
It’s not too late to escape
Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Over the hills and far away
We’re getting nowhere playing safe
Yeah, yeah, eh yeah
Running in my sleep
Running in my sleep

Over the hills and far away
It’s not too late to escape
Yeah, yeah, eh yeah

Over the hills and far away
We’re getting nowhere playing safe
Yeah, yeah, eh yeah
Running in my sleep
