Lyrics

I Can’t Sleep

She flips through pages of a worn out magazine
Crinkled corners from wear and tear
Paralyzed, her eyes dig deep into the ceiling
Searching for answers nowhere to be found

I cut and paste the image on a desktop
An LCD screen in my mind
She doesn’t say it but I can sense it running through her
We’re running out of time

(chorus)
The bills in the mail put a price on my head
The house, my job, wife and my children
Streaming through my body like a needle pulling thread
And I Can’t Sleep ‘til I put ‘em all to bed


Silent screams say, it’s gonna be alright
The worry eats me up inside
I will blanket you with peace she says
If you lie beside and sleep with me tonight

(chorus)
The bills in the mail put a price on my head
The house, my job, wife and my children
Streaming through my body like a needle pulling thread
And I Can’t Sleep ‘til I put ‘em all to bed


(bridge)
The night sky’s fading in
I can’t waste another day
Time, it slips away
And patience wears me thin
Turns my hair to gray
She throws our fears under the bed
Just get some sleep tonight, she says

(chorus)
The bills in the mail put a price on my head
The house, my job, wife and my children
Streaming through my body like a needle pulling thread
And I Can’t Sleep
I Can’t Sleep
I Can’t Sleep ‘til I put ‘em all to bed
