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

Just So You Know

Just so you know I’m not afraid to die
It’s the distant spaces I’d leave behind
That shakes me right down to the core
That leaves me there just wanting more
Just so you know I never wondered why
Or how you gave to me the bluest sky
That leaves me sad and leaves me cold
You took my guns so I’ll never know
So by the time you told me why
It got too late to hold my head up high
You told me all the things that you tried to say
To break my heart and rue the day
And now I start to figure out
What you gave to me beyond a shadow of doubt
You tell me what you want and what to say
A bird that sings to sail away
Just so you know a bit I’m not done yet
I’ve paid my bills but not paid my debt
For when I’ve tried to light my way
To sing your song to see if I’m ok
Just so you know you’ll see me way up high
I tried to live I never wanted to die
I never thought of it that way
To break your heart on the bluest day
So by the glass you raise up high
It’s getting late and time to say goodnight
I figure all the kids have gone away
And saved it all up for a rainy day
So now you wish you’d gone to bed
And locked up all that you got stuck in your head
You just make it up and save the day
You fill my heart and sail away
So by the glass you raise up high
It’s getting late and time to say goodnight
I figure all the kids have gone away
And saved it all up for a rainy day
So now you wish you’d gone to bed
And locked up all that you got stuck in your head
You just make it up and save the day
You fill my heart and sail away

Annie's Got Her Gun

When I find out that you’re in the wrong
I lay it down hard so you can sing along
And I know you want to think about it
And that you will go on
I know you want to fight about it all, and go on, and go on
And I say that you want to wear me down
You’re the queen of hearts who wouldn’t wear the crown
And I know you want to fight about it
And that you’ll carry on
I know there’s no sense trying to doubt I’m wrong, so go on, and go on
Annie hold on
I know your guns will find a way
So you can live to fight another day
Another day, another day
So I break down and Annie rides again
I try to call a truce, but she only wants to win
And I know you want to fight about it
And that you’ll carry on
I know there’s no sense trying to doubt I’m wrong, so go on, and go on
Annie hold on
I know your guns will find a way
So you can live to fight another day
Another day, another day
And I know you want to fight about it
And that you’ll carry on
I know there’s no sense trying to doubt I’m wrong, so go on, and go on
Annie hold on
I know your guns will find a way
So you can live to fight another day

I Think You're Gonna Go

All this time you seem so lost and alone
I don’t know
I think you’re gonna go
Like the trees you stand up tall and you know
And it shows
I think you’re gonna go
And you say to me that you’re not all alone
And it bends and breaks so far
Now we know
I think you’re gonna go
Like the branches and all the leaves that turn
And then burn
I think you’re gonna go
And late at night you drift so high in the air
I don’t care
I think you’re gonna go
And you say to me that you’re not all alone
And it bends and breaks so far
Now we know
Like Edgar Allan Poe

Wrong to Write
02:31

I stalk you with technology you wear the wedding gown
And through the rust you come to trust the hand that holds you down
You understand I had no plans to cling to every word
But through the glass it's come to pass you can’t hear what I heard
Well you were wrong to write to me
So you should hold on tight
And complicated angels see
That I’m all right
It’s all right with me you know
I sometimes turn away ok and float up in the air
And when you drift away alone I promise you, I swear
But then you come to save me and you come to see my show
You slip away ok and rip my heart out here we go
Well you were wrong to write to me
So you should hold on tight
And complicated angels see
That I’m all right
It’s all right with me you know
You walk along the open road and waste another day
Looking for the light again but it’s always this way
Every time I try to sleep I know you'll understand
I lay awake and grab my gun and make my final stand
Well you were wrong to write to me
So you should hold on tight
And complicated angels see
That I’m all right
It’s all right with me you know
