in the middle of the night
i shut out all the lights
and i lay my head to rest
for an hour and a half
then it all sets in
and my head begins to spin
get up to walk around
fall straight on to the ground
its not that early
i should be asleep
but theres something on my mind
and its hard to unwind
every time i close my eyes
it never seems to work
so toss and turn and count the sheep
but they eventually run out
wake before the alarm
wake with a frown
wake with a feeling
of not waking anymore
its not that early
i should be asleep
and every time i close my eyes
i try counting sheep
again and again
will it ever end
again and again
it never works
again and again (its not that early)
will it ever end (i should be asleep)
again and again (and every time i close my eyes)
it never works (i try counting sheep)
again and again (its not that early)
will it ever end (i should be asleep)
again and again (and every time i close my eyes)
it never works (i try counting sheep)
in the middle of the night
when shut out all the lights
and i lay my head to rest
it never really feels right
