| Like they almost meant a thing
|
| And the only lullaby I heard
|
| The 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 draw in
|
| 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
|
| But finally sleep through just one more tonight
|
| 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 moving, 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
|
| 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 back door…
|
| Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
|
| In a house without a back door (Sleeplessness)
|
| I was looking for a fire escape (Sleeplessness)
|
| And I’d be ripping up the floorboards (Sleeplessness)
|
| Just trying to get away… |
