A song I wrote.

Just the lyrics. I haven't put it to music yet (think old school green day or blink-182):

Getting to Sleep

I hope that you’ll forgive me if you think this is unfair…
But I just want to know if my best friend’s still there.
It feels like a decade since I saw your silly face.
And unlike you I can’t move on without a trace.

I know you want nothing to do with me.
Something about not being “quite as free.”
But I can’t get you out of my head
As I try to get to sleep in bed.

You know, this isn’t how my life should be.

I still wish that we were back together
Floating like a feather
Through this crazy world.
When we were just some goofy lovers
Playing under covers
Our two hearts unfurled.

I can’t get to sleep.

I know we made mistakes back then, but we were both so young.
And now they seem so petty as they trip right off my tongue:
I tried to make things perfect. You could never give me time.
I tried to work things out, you wanted to be prime.

I know you want nothing to do with me.
Something about not being “quite as free.”
But when I think about what could be
Can’t you see?
This is not how it should be.

I still wish that we were back together
Floating like a feather
Through this crazy world.
When we were just a couple lovers
Playing under covers
Our two hearts unfurled.

I can’t get to sleep.

I still wish that we were back together
Floating like a feather
Through this crazy world.
When we were just a couple lovers
Playing under covers
Our two hearts unfurled.

I can’t get to sleep.
There you are again.
I can’t get to sleep.
I can’t.
I can’t get to sleep.

I hope that’ you’ll forgive me.
I can’t get to sleep.
Remember when?
I can't get to sleep.

Let's lay down our weapons
and hold us apart
be still for just a minute
try to open our hearts
MORE LOVE.
