Give me that sleep (I want to go to sleep)

I just want to walk up those stairs and lay down
Just want to curl up into a ball with two blankets around
Two big old warm blankets around me 
And a pillow on top of my head
Cause I need that pillow to drown out the sound of all the people that don’t good go to bed early, like me
We could stay up all night but there’s so much 
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep

Sleep, sleep
Just wanna go, just wanna go to sleep

Every night just a little bit earlier, I want to find myself out after three
Inside in my sleep, don’t you want to sleep

No matter how hard I try, just keeps on going around my head and my face and my brain, it won’t let me refrain
But I, get closer and closer to that dark, and the bed and the warmth and the pilllow and the blanket and the blanket is all I need
But you see I crave (ohh I crave), just that warmth (just that warmth), but all I get (the more I sleep), just no 

Sleep, (no) sleep, (no) sleep
(No) sleep, no sleep, sleep 

Every time’s just trying a little bit harder to
Sleep

Sleep

There’s no way I’m calming down,
There’s no way down
There’s no way I’m going to stop, 
There’s no way to stop
There’s no way I’m going to feel myself,
There’s no way to feel
There’s no way I’m going to start this over again,
There’s no way to start

There’s no way, there’s no way, there’s no way, there’s no way
 
There’s no way I’m calming down, 
There’s no way down
There’s no way I’m going to stop, 
There’s no way to stop
There’s no way I’m going to feel myself,
There’s no way to feel
There’s no way I’m going to start this over again,
There’s no way to start

It’s a time, it’s a place, it’s song, it’s a race,
It’s a feeling
If there’s one thing I can say, one thing I do, one thing I can change,
It would be
For you and me, to never have began

There’s no way I’m calming down, for you
I’m calming down
There’s no way I’m going to stop, for you
I’m going to stop
There’s no way I’m going to feel myself, for you
I’m going feel
There’s no way I’m going to start this over again, for you
I’ll start again

There’s no way, there’s no way, there’s no way, there’s no way

No Way

Sometimes
Other times

I’m wanted the most,
But I’m never wanted by you
Back in the fast lane today
With worn out brain too

I gotta a message for you and the message is
I gotta a message for you and the message is

Sometimes, I think it’s almost over
Other times, I talk a jumble mess
Sometimes, I think it’s almost over
Other times, I talk a jumble mess 
(guess it’s not over yet)

Everyone’s waiting for 
Everybody’s waiting for

Sometimes
