Touch of insomnia It's nearly 3 am Sleeps not getting any closer And I havent got a friend There no one waiting for my calls Just bad dreams of **** school halls Retreat to the safety of a computer screen Watch the little lights on the modem blink green Boot up log in, disappear to hide from alone Drown feeling in pixels all identical Every site another chorus of broken hearts To much like real life Again I'm fleeing my own thoughts Scared to listen Instead, wandering down a long list of user names (6-6) in every room I pass Near the bottom and close to the end Stopping, eyes catching (1-6) all alone Breath held, hand shaking Feeling stupid, there's no risk I'm taking Computer screens can't see who sits on this side Maybe though.. they're alone too and I wont have to hide You're two spaces from me As my game starts, we sit silently Cursor blinking slowly in the little text box Fear creeping up my neck Question hanging, to say something or just hold back Took just a second, only three keys to press "Hi", started it all and I'll never go back From what if's and maybe's To being your baby It's been so long together, that we cant be apart My soulmate... I cant believe we met on a puzzle board

What if for a soulmate
Touch of insomnia It's nearly 3 am Sleeps not getting any closer And I havent got a friend There no one waiting for my calls Just bad dreams of **** school halls Retreat to the safety of a computer screen Watch the little lights on the modem blink green Boot up log in, disappear to hide from alone Drown feeling in pixels all identical Every site another chorus of broken hearts To much like real life Again I'm fleeing my own thoughts Scared to listen Instead, wandering down a long list of user names (6-6) in every room I pass Near the bottom and close to the end Stopping, eyes catching (1-6) all alone Breath held, hand shaking Feeling stupid, there's no risk I'm taking Computer screens can't see who sits on this side Maybe though.. they're alone too and I wont have to hide You're two spaces from me As my game starts, we sit silently Cursor blinking slowly in the little text box Fear creeping up my neck Question hanging, to say something or just hold back Took just a second, only three keys to press "Hi", started it all and I'll never go back From what if's and maybe's To being your baby It's been so long together, that we cant be apart My soulmate...
