My head hurts, I can feel the pulsating palpitations of a cerebral miscommunication, I’m in bed but I’m not tired, Staring at the ceiling, Waiting for daybreak to blind me with its optimism, Dreading every shred of light. Why can’t I close my eyes, I’m tired, My body is tired, My mind is weary, I do feel sleepy, So why am I still up. Is it you? Are you here with me, You’re not in the bed but if I close my eyes I can still feel you there, Your imprint still shadows the pillow you left behind, Come and go thief, Take my memories, Steal my dreams. It’s almost 3 o clock, My mother was superstitious about that time, Told me to pray until sunlight, Or until graced with sleep, I guess I’ll try, If your reading this tonight, I hope you sleep tight, Those pesky little bed bugs won’t get you this time, If your reading this tomorrow, I hope you slept well, And the dream of us together seems like a really tough sell but I love you, Goodnight princess

Sweet Dreams
My head hurts, I can feel the pulsating palpitations of a cerebral miscommunication, I’m in bed but I’m not tired, Staring at the ceiling, Waiting for daybreak to blind me with its optimism, Dreading every shred of light. Why can’t I close my eyes, I’m tired, My body is tired, My mind is weary, I do feel sleepy, So why am I still up. Is it you? Are you here with me, You’re not in the bed but if I close my eyes I can still feel you there, Your imprint still shadows the pillow you left behind, Come and go thief, Take my memories, Steal my dreams. It’s almost 3 o clock, My mother was superstitious about that time, Told me to pray until sunlight, Or until graced with sleep, I guess I’ll try, If your reading this tonight, I hope you sleep tight, Those pesky little bed bugs won’t get you this time, If your reading this tomorrow, I hope you slept well, And the dream of us together seems like a really tough sell but I love you, Goodnight princess
