These past few nights I've found myself Wide awake Half naked On my bed Sheets between My body And the air that compacts Itself into this box Of a room All of this Because of you I cannot go to sleep The wiring of My nerves Tingling and twitching Underneath this Summer skin That longs for the Weekends All of this Because of you And on the nights Where there is no air Between my body And yours My breathing hitched My moans all muttered Is when I get my sleep All of this Because of you It is such a risk To find a slumber Deep enough To hold me under When all I want Is you All of this Because of you

All of This
These past few nights I've found myself Wide awake Half naked On my bed Sheets between My body And the air that compacts Itself into this box Of a room All of this Because of you I cannot go to sleep The wiring of My nerves Tingling and twitching Underneath this Summer skin That longs for the Weekends All of this Because of you And on the nights Where there is no air Between my body And yours My breathing hitched My moans all muttered Is when I get my sleep All of this Because of you It is such a risk To find a slumber Deep enough To hold me under When all I want Is you All of this Because of you
