Sleep Talking

original song

By Anna ScoutenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

a song about a sleep talker

I made you up,

In my mind.

Something I do

To pass the time.

I made you up,

In my mind.

And think of you

All the time.

Barely awake, barely asleep,

You talk to me.

Barely awake, barely asleep,

You talk, to me.

You talk to me.

And I knew,

‘cause you said you believe in ghosts,

And I do too.

I do, I do.

I swear I made you up,

I swear I made you up,

I swear I made you upon my mind.
