I'd be hanging on their words
|
Like they almost meant a thing
|
In the only lullaby I heard,
|
Their sirens blaring, singing me to sleep
|
Holding my loved one tight...
|
|
On the softness of her laugh,
|
I could almost make my bed
|
But the racket of her absence joined
|
The sirens blaring ringing in my head
|
Holding nothing tight,
|
Holding nothing tight
|
With my eyes so wide
|
|
In a house without a back door
|
I was looking for a fire escape
|
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
|
Just trying to get away
|
From this sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
|
|
She'd be hanging on my words
|
Like I almost meant a thing
|
And I'd give anything not to let her down
|
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
|
Holding her so tight, holding her so tight
|
But my eyes are wide
|
|
In a house without a back door
|
I was looking for a fire escape
|
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
|
Just trying to get away
|
From this sleeplessness
|
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness
|
|
'Cause my mind just can't stop movin'
|
And I think I know why
|
Oooh, I know why
|
It's sad
|
but I'm a sucker for a kind word
|
And I'll just hurt until I find one
|
And I'll just hurt until I find one
|
|
And I've been trying all the windows
|
And I've been running up the staircase
|
In a house without a backdoor...
|
|
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
|
In a house without a backdoor (Sleeplessness)
|
I was looking for a fire escape (Sleeplessness)
|
And I'd be ripping up the floorboards (Sleeplessness)
|
Just trying to get away...
