lyrics

It hits me suddenly I can’t sleep and I still feel the same
I say goodnight and drift so lost in the wake
Hit the pillow down and turn around you stop to call my name
This time is magnified my mind decides to stay awake

And I try to sleep so long, so long and drift away
I can’t keep it down for long
But I close my eyes and try to sleep the dream away
And the night becomes the dawn

My head comes crashing down, you come around and I can’t fall asleep
So exhausted I’m lost in the wake
I try to dream of you, what can I do when you won’t call my name
The time is amplified and I have died yet lay awake

And I try to sleep so long, so long and drift away
I can’t keep it down for long
But I close my eyes and try to sleep the dream away
And the night becomes the dawn

I’m coming to this time but I’m still lost in slumber-land
Now I lay me down to sleep
It’s coming down again but I’m not gonna change my mind
Pray the lord my soul to keep

And I try to sleep so long, so long and drift away
I can’t keep it down for long
But I close my eyes and try to sleep the dream away
And the night becomes the dawn
