Favorite Quote:
“Nothing can possibly be as cute as David Tennant holding a kitten. Cause the kitten is adorable and then David Tennant is adorable and then your head explodes and you wake up on the floor of your bedroom twenty minutes later with a sock in one hand and a crushed diet coke can in the other. If you’re lucky. If not, you die of fangasm. Although if that happened to me because of Jack, I could probably get Death by Torchwood on my death certificate….”


Verse 1:
If I could
Freeze time for a while
And
Walk among the sudden silence
I'd
Wander the world
'Till my pain stopped rearing

Chorus:
I'd sleep for a while
Give into the exhaustion stalking
Me
I'd move at my own pace
Untill everything was right
Again
I'd sing my own song
When nobody could begrudge
Me

Verse 2:
If I could
Stop the world for a while
And
Hear Time's weary sigh
I'd
Be fine with the knowledge
I wasn't the only one fearing sleeping

Chorus:
I'd sleep for a while
Give into the exhaustion stalking
Me
I'd move at my own pace
Untill everything was right
Again
I'd sing my own song
When nobody could begrudge
Me

Verse 3 (B-section):
Twenty-four hours aint enough for me
I need more to get through what you throw at me
Give me time
While the whole world's sleeping
Oh
Just give me time
Please...

Chorus:
I'd sleep for a while
Give into the exhaustion stalking
Me
I'd move at my own pace
Untill everything was right
Again
I'd sing my own song
When nobody could begrudge
Me

Verse 4:
I'd sing my own song
Break the silence on my own
And when I'd let go
The world would be no longer weary...
