lyrics

Sleep at Night

Wedding bells and misplaced chances.
What will become of a highway romance?
Live free or die, till death does us right.

Coast to coast, in a red sedan.
All of our efforts hand in hand.
We’re scrolling by, beneath the astral light.

Spirits lift with the new horizon.
Brian interjects with a burning question.
“How can it be, you still believe in me?”

We’re on the run, please, no surprises.
The city’s going into hiding.
I don’t think I’m ever going to...

Sleep at night.
Why don’t you sleep at night?

What if I’m to blame?
There’s no one else.
I’m a dropout with a fantasy,
mumbling songs into a tape machine.

I’ve never felt so temporary.
Seven days a week, an apothecary
for the weak of will and lovesick vagrants
who should’ve walked the other way.

Our fingers crossed in a passing moment.
Both wondering if this is not the end.
I stammer to find the words to say.
And if I could, would it ever be enough…

For me to sleep at night?
Why don’t you sleep at night?

Flashback to 96,
the white apocalypse,
brothers in the snow.
Taught to dream of the unseen.
Prophesied by the ordained.
They said I’m destined for transcendence.
I have a purpose that I can’t quit.
I got ahead of myself and lost the plot.
I’ve gone too far but I won’t stop…

Until I sleep at night.
Why don’t you sleep at night?

I hope you sleep at night.
Why don’t you sleep at night?

With you, I sleep at night.
When I think about you, I sleep at night.
