I should warn you,
I go to sleep.
I know you don't know what I mean.
Yet.
I get upset or happy I go to sleep.
Nothing hurts when I go to sleep.
But I'm not tired, I'm not tired.
I know it seems that I don't care,
But something in me does, I swear.
I don't remember all last year.
I left you awake to cry the tears,
While I was dreaming in streams
Flowing between the shores
Of joy and sadness
Oh!
I'm drowning, save me, wake me up!
I should warn you, I go to sleep.
You won't know when I go to sleep.
Because I'm not tired,
I'm not tired,
I just sleep.
I go to sleep.
I know you don't know what I mean.
Yet.
I get upset or happy I go to sleep.
Nothing hurts when I go to sleep.
But I'm not tired, I'm not tired.
I know it seems that I don't care,
But something in me does, I swear.
I don't remember all last year.
I left you awake to cry the tears,
While I was dreaming in streams
Flowing between the shores
Of joy and sadness
Oh!
I'm drowning, save me, wake me up!
I should warn you, I go to sleep.
You won't know when I go to sleep.
Because I'm not tired,
I'm not tired,
I just sleep.

On the Ben Folds with WASO DVD he says that its about a type of narcolepsy when someone falls asleep whenever he's under extreme preassure or stress.
