Insomnia
Lyrics
Ah, ah, 'cause I can't sleep without you
No, I don't want to dream about you
Wish I had my arms wrapped around you (insomnia)
I've been down for two days
Tylenol PM ain't working
Losing track of time, babe (insomnia)
My mind is running too fast
Shadows on the wall keep lurking
I wish that you would come back (insomnia)
I keep on hoping to find you
Reaching in between the sheets
Baby, it's only been one night
Feel like it's been like a week
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin'
Flipping the pillow, pulling the curtains
I got, I got, I got
Insomnia, ah
'Cause I can't sleep without you
No, I don't want to dream about you
Wish I had my arms wrapped around you (insomnia)
Insomnia, ah
'Cause I can't sleep without you
No, I don't want to dream about you
Wish I had my arms wrapped around you (insomnia)
I can hear your voice now
Keeping me awake 'til morning
Can see you with the lights out (insomnia)
I keep on hoping to find you
Reaching in between the sheets
Maybe it's only been one night
Feel like it's been like a week
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin'
Flipping the pillow, pulling the curtains
Oh, I got, I got, I got (I got, I got, I got)
Insomnia, ah
'Cause I can't sleep without you
No, I don't want to dream about you
Wish I had my arms wrapped around you (insomnia)
Insomnia, ah
'Cause I can't sleep without you
No, I don't want to dream about you
Wish I had my arms wrapped around you (insomnia)
I keep on hoping to find you
I'm trying and trying and trying to
You setting, you setting my mind loose
Oh, I got, I got, I got
