I've been sleep deprived for since I cannot even remember. I look up and I see your smile: A blasphemous hallucination, But a welcome one, nonetheless (Insomnia  has never been fond of   Daydreamers like myself.) "I don't know what I want" But I do. Today I looked out the window, As the sun danced around; Such a beautiful day to dream. I've memorized my script, I know what to say, I know what to do, I know how to speak, I know how to move, But the timing just isn't right-- Or is it? You tell me. Tell me, tell me, tell me! Your smile is my cue-- (Will you laugh for me too?) Do you want to know a secret, love? Come closer, let me tell you.. Let me press my finger to your lips, Let my lips brush your ear, Let me whisper what you already know, But I know you long to hear. I'm looking out the window now, Counting all the stars; What a beautiful night to... I know my part on this stage: I live to please-- But please, Tell me who you are, Tell me who you are, And Tell me who you are.. Tell me slowly, Tell me completely, Tell me everything, So I'll never forget, So that I may keep your words in an ink bottle On the writing desk of my mind, So that I can have your smile on my lips, As I sing along with the radio, So that I can picture your face, In my chemical induced dreamland, When sleep never wants to come.

Coffee and Clouds; Hiding Behind Curtains
I've been sleep deprived for since I cannot even remember. I look up and I see your smile: A blasphemous hallucination, But a welcome one, nonetheless (Insomnia  has never been fond of   Daydreamers like myself.) "I don't know what I want" But I do. Today I looked out the window, As the sun danced around; Such a beautiful day to dream. I've memorized my script, I know what to say, I know what to do, I know how to speak, I know how to move, But the timing just isn't right-- Or is it? You tell me. Tell me, tell me, tell me! Your smile is my cue-- (Will you laugh for me too?) Do you want to know a secret, love? Come closer, let me tell you.. Let me press my finger to your lips, Let my lips brush your ear, Let me whisper what you already know, But I know you long to hear. I'm looking out the window now, Counting all the stars; What a beautiful night to... I know my part on this stage: I live to please-- But please, Tell me who you are, Tell me who you are, And Tell me who you are.. Tell me slowly, Tell me completely, Tell me everything, So I'll never forget, So that I may keep your words in an ink bottle On the writing desk of my mind, So that I can have your smile on my lips, As I sing along with the radio, So that I can picture your face, In my chemical induced dreamland, When sleep never wants to come.
