I'd be hanging on their words Like they almost meant a thing And the only lullaby I heard The sirens blaring, singing me to sleep Holding my loved one tight... On the softness of her laugh, I could almost make my bed But the racket of her absence draw in The sirens blaring, ringing in my head Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight With my eyes so wide In a house without a back door I was looking for a fire escape And I'll be ripping up the floorboards Just trying to get away From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness She'd be hanging on my words Like I almost meant a thing And I'd give anything not to let her down But finally sleep through just one more tonight Holding her so tight, holding her so tight
But my eyes are wide In a house without a back door I was looking for a fire escape And I'll be ripping up the floorboards Just trying to get away From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness 'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why Oooh, I know why It's sad, but I'm a s**er for a kind word And I'll just hurt until I find one I'll just hurt until I find one And I've been trying all the windows And I've been running up the staircase In a house without a back door... Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness In a house without a back door (Sleeplessness) I was looking for a fire escape (Sleeplessness) And I'd be ripping up the floorboards (Sleeplessness) Just trying to get away...
