From my window I can see the skylight
And the clouds gathering out to sea
A light rain falls
And the street lights make the road shine
And I can’t sleep
People talking about the war
I can’t sleep
People talking about the war
I can’t sleep
Over there a clock shows half past four
And the light breaks out to sea
And I just think of those things your said to me
And I said to you and you said to me
I’ve been up all night long
Just waitin’ on the sun
I’ve given up damned the dawn
Ain’t never gonna come
Somethin’s wrong as long as your gone
Chorus
I’m not gonna sleep til I touch your face
Baby not a wink I could go for days
if you ever needed to see me down on my knees
Take a look at me
Baby, I can’t sleep
Remember when you said we wouldn’t last
I couldn’t swallow my pride
Oh it’s sinkin’ in
Baby losin’ you has finally opened my eyes
I’m wide awake as long as it takes
repeat chorus twice
I’m not gonna sleep til I touch you face
Baby not a wink I could go for days
I’m not gonna sleep til I touch your face
Baby not a wink
I can’t sleep
Wish i could turn on my light
And read my village voice
But layin’ next to this beached whale
I haven’t got the choice
He looked good at the time
I must have been out of my mind
Now i can’t sleep
I can’t sleep!
Hoping for a wild night
Of sexual gymnastics
But he thought he was god’s gift
Selfish and sarcastic
I wanted to take him home
And i got him so i shouldn’t groan
But i can’t sleep
I can’t sleep!
Minutes pass like hours
My eyes wide open
Staring up at the ceiling
Every paint crack memorized
Think i’ll reset my alarm
To go off extra early
Wake him up and get him out
Try to sleep until 8:30
Being up all night’s alright
If it´s filled with erotic delight
But i can’t sleep
I can’t sleep!

And the street lights make the road shine
And i can’t sleep
People talking about the war
I can’t sleep
People talking about the war
I can’t sleep
Over there a clock shows half past four
And the light breaks out to sea
And i just think of those things your said to me
And i said to you and you said to me

I can’t sleep
For dreaming about you
When you’re gone
There’s nothing i can do
But lie awake alone
And dream the whole night through
I can’t sleep
For dreaming about you
I close my weary eyes
And see your face
I hold my pillow tight
And dream of your embrace
I know that i could use the rest
But my lonely heart cries out for your caress
I can’t sleep
For dreaming about you
When you’re gone
There’s nothing i can do
But lie awake alone
And dream the whole night through
I can’t sleep
For dreaming about you
They say that absence makes a love grow stronger
But i don’t believe my empty arms can hold out any longer
I can’t sleep
For dreaming about you
When you’re gone
There’s nothing i can do
But lie awake alone
And dream the whole night through
I can’t sleep
For dreaming about you
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
