I Could Be President Lyrics - Say Anything

was i born to sink into this couch 

and watch my whole world 

bleed its purpose out? 

around the insects 

follow patterns to their deaths 

while i waste my precious breath 

on another second guess 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of sleeping 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of sleeping in 

i feel so dead to the world 

just tell me where do i begin 

cause 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of breathing in 

these nightmares are so weird 

it's like i'm drowning at the bottom of a bottle of beer 

that my father sips between the humorous quips 

of the late night comedy news shows he frequents 

and i wake up 

with the devil in my sheets 

i took to her shoulders 

asking was it good for me 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of sleeping 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of sleeping in 

i feel so dead to the world 

just tell me where do i begin 

cause 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of breathing in 

if only i were present then 

i could be the president! 

if only i were present then 

i could be the president! 

yeah! 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of sleeping 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of sleeping in 

i feel so dead to the world 

just tell me where do i begin 

cause 

i'm afraid 

i'm afraid of breathing in
