Sleep on Your Floor Lyrics

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Oh, I love you and I got nowhere else to go

She said you can sleep with me you know

Why am I this way

Give me the time of day

I'm pocketed shortchange, short range

What do I say

At this stage

Words in a cage

How do I act my age

How do I put it plain

Does she know my name

I don't remember this game

I feel a spark and then shame

Put out the flame

The girl with the fiery hair looks over

I want to know her

I want to show her

The way I stir

But I'm not sure

I'm just an amateur

And I just prefer

Anything but the way things were

I wait by the phone

The silence is my own

I became deaf but for a tone

The thoughts were strewn

I don't feel grown

There is love I've never known

Eyes I've never shown

I hide and that's why I'm alone

I'm so alone don't

Think I won't

Dig a moat

I left a note

I cried for every word I wrote

I felt ocean wide on a sailboat

I am barely afloat

It said can I sleep on your floor

There's no home for me anymore

It's always you I'm looking for

I woke up dreaming washed ashore

I couldn't knock on your door

What do you think when you wait

I felt like a floodgate

I put the blind in date

I was rusty at any rate

Unlucky number 8

I need a clean slate

She called me and it was late

She set let's set it all straight

Bring an overnight bag and close the gate
