can't sleep

intro: (softly, with tenderness)

morning light
comes through my window
spent the night
on the phone with you.
we say goodnight
turn into your pillow
i wish i was sleeping
next to you.
sweet dreams
angel baby
may all your dreams come true.
sweet dreams
angel baby,
all my love
to you.

interlude: (builds, with feeling, increase tempo and strumming)

where do i put
all the push and shove
where do i put all my love
if not with you?
it doesn't make sense
with him.
i can't sleep
the food i eat turns to dust
i feel i must get this off my chest
all the rest
of my dreams of me and you.

bridge:

he's so lovely
he's so loving
he is so lovely
he says he loves me, oh no!

chorus:

it'd be easy
to believe this life
could be filled inbetween the lines
it's just a lie
i tell myself.

something went wrong
i'm not as strong as i would like
to appear
i need you tonight
to share this life
but you're not here.

bridge:

he's so lovely
he's so loving
he is so lovely
he says he loves me, oh no!

interlude:

where do i put
all the push and shove
where do i put all my love
if not with you
it doesn't make sense
with
him.

i can't sleep.
the food i eat turns to dust
i feel i must get this off my chest
all of the rest
of my dreams of me...and you.

it'd be easy
to believe this life
could be filled inbetween the lines
it's just a lie
i tell
to you.

i have not spoken
these simple words to you
i am not broken i'm stronger than
either one of us ever knew.
and one day
i'll come
for you.

yes and one day,
i'll come to you.

do not think
don't try to sink this hopeful dream
you probably never know until this moment
i'm here for you.
you're not too far.

just miles away
i cannot stray from this moment
babe...please here me out,
i am not broken even far from you.




i can't sleep
i can't sleep
i can't sleep
without you here with me.
