nedped - Awake All Night Lyrics

Under the blanket of a billion blue stars
Love tries to sleep but it's too far to fall
Tossing and turning, cascading through the hours
Thoughts churn as images dance toward light
Has tomorrow already come?

Why not just get up and go for a swim?
Love was kept waiting; it's time to jump in
Sink to the bottom, float back up to sky
Where dripping wet cotton is hung out to dry
May it not be worn till then

Once loved me, now hates me
Her sunlight burns, fire down my spine
Once dreaming, now screaming
What's so unfair
Awake all night

Try to go to sleep; you gotta sleep
Lay it down, restless soul to keep
Bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah

Under impression that promises keep
Love lay its head on my pillow to sleep
Only to discover its slope was too steep
Come to uncover a hole so deep
That we could not trust the fall

Once loved me, now hates me
Her starlight burns, fire in my eyes
Once dreaming, now screaming
What's so unfair
Awake all night

Try to go to sleep; you gotta sleep
Lay it down, restless soul to keep
Bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Under the blanket of a billion blue stars
Love wants to sleep but it's too far to fall
Tirelessly tumbling, cascading through fright
Thoughts churn as images dance and take flight
Will the sandman never arrive?

Bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah
