lyrics

You never see the light that leads you out the dark
Cos you're too busy counting sheep
While I'm as high as a kite

You're losing sleep tonight
As the warning signs flash across your eyes
You're losing hope and you grow tired

But maybe it's just a little too cold
You put a sweater on just to let her know, oh
Maybe it's just a little too old
You put your TV on just to keep her close, oh

Oh, she's always in denial
Cause she craves for something closer
Oh, she waits for his arrival
But it's only in her dreams

She says the things that make you hollow
You want the truth when it's hard to swallow
When's your suffering ever gonna end?

And if you're in too deep
Then I'll be catching sleep
And losing everything I love for you

But maybe it's just a little too cold
You put a sweater on just to let her know, oh
Maybe it's just a little too old
You put your TV on just to keep her close, oh

Oh, she's always in denial
Cause she craves for something closer
Oh, she waits for his arrival
But it's only in her dreams
