Sleepless
Lycia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't think, think about anything
I can't think of anything at all
My thoughts drift but keep coming back to you
Face to the ground, eyes closed hard

I still care
I can't sleep, I just lay here awake
Sleep comes but quickly fades away
I'll just lay here and wait for the morning sun





Sleepless again, eyes closed hard
I still care, I care, I care...
