insomniac

i can see you

don't even know you

fallin' into the sheets at night

place my hands flat on my chest

i feel the heartbeat back the night

i've tried counting the sheep

and i talk to the shepard

and played with my pillow forever

ever

i sit alone and i watch the clock

i breathe in on the tick

and out on the tock

i can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor

i don't have to have these dreams no more

and i found someone just to hold me tight

hold the insomniac all night

i dig my head down deep

so i can't hear the cars

outside on the street

and the stars are laughin'

they get a kick out of my misery

i've tried everything short of aristotle

took dramamine and whiskey bottle

pray for the day when my ship comes in

and i can sleep the sleep of the just again

hold the insomniac all night. hold the insomniac all night. hold the insomniac all night. hold me and keep on holding me

won't you hold me and keep on holding me

won't you hold me and keep on holding me

won't you hold me. keep. on.
