Sleeping You Off

4 am and I'm wide awake
Ambien didn't take
I scream out some words in vain
At the frantic waves in my brain

And the frantic tangled sheets
Lying there next to me
I could fill them if I want
But I know that I don't want

Where are you? What are you doing now?
I can't seem to slow my engine down
Instead of burning hours off the clock
Girl I think I should be sleeping you off

I can't say "you fooled me again"
Cause you've turned me into a trend
Parade me round for a couple weeks
Then toss me out so predictably

Oh maybe I'll run away
And decide who I can to be
If I don't have to fill this hole
I look up it's only half past 4

Where are you? What are you doing now?
I can't seem to slow my engine down
Instead of burning hours off the clock
Girl I think I should be sleeping you off

If you want to kiss my mouth
Why can't you say so?
If you need that sweet relief
You should just say so
If you want to kiss my mouth
Why can't you say so?
If you need that sweet relief
You should just say so

5 am and the ocean swells
Colors come from the window sill
But I'd rather it be black and white
Why do I think about you all the time?

She used to say "What will you miss about me?"
I'd reply "Baby, everything
Including pieces you never were."
And I guess that's my problem still

Where are you? What are you doing now?
I can't seem to slow my engine down
Instead of burning hours off the clock
Girl I think I should be I should be
Running round learning how to deal
With making love that I can't feel
Instead I'm here and it's 6 o'clock
Girl I wish I could just sleep you off
