Sleepless
The High Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you have trouble sleeping?
Do you have nightmares?
Are you heartbroken?
Do you feel down?
Depressed, hopeless
Do you miss someone?

Do you find that things you once enjoyed

No longer interest you?

Are you lonely?
Are you always sleepless
