Can't Sleep
You've been out there in the city
What did you bring back for me?
A vicious preoccupation
With a darkness underneath
And there's something empty now
In the way that you laugh
Is there something you're hiding?
Oh darling, I'm afraid to ask
Are you waking 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling 'til the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
I've been sitting here waiting
Stare out the window on the street
Watch strangers come around the corner
Hoping it was you I'd see
I pretend not to notice
The distance in your eyes
But when you pull me in closer
Smell cigarette smoke and lies
Are you waking 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling 'til the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
You're not the only one who ever needed
Speak, scream it aloud and shout down your demons
Lies make you weak and that's why you can't sleep
Are you waking 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling 'til the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
What did you bring back for me?
A vicious preoccupation
With a darkness underneath
And there's something empty now
In the way that you laugh
Is there something you're hiding?
Oh darling, I'm afraid to ask
Are you waking 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling 'til the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
I've been sitting here waiting
Stare out the window on the street
Watch strangers come around the corner
Hoping it was you I'd see
I pretend not to notice
The distance in your eyes
But when you pull me in closer
Smell cigarette smoke and lies
Are you waking 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling 'til the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
You're not the only one who ever needed
Speak, scream it aloud and shout down your demons
Lies make you weak and that's why you can't sleep
Are you waking 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling 'til the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
