Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take much more
I don't wanna be sober
Get lost inside my mind
When I'm thinkin of you
Am I wasting all my time
Baby tell me the truth
Tell me that you're coming over
I don't wanna be sober
Get lost inside my mind
When I'm thinkin of you
Am I wasting all my time
Baby tell me the truth
I said I'll never lose you
I think I already lost
You can have my body baby
I come with a cost
I can be the one you need
But I can't be the one you want
I hate how I've been feeling
But I don't want it to stop
I know it's my fault
I don't wanna see you hurt
I been through it before
But I swear this time is the worst
And if you leave me now
I'll always think what if it worked
You know that I need you
I want you to say it first
Tell me that you're coming over
I can't take much more
I don't wanna be sober
Get lost inside my mind
When I'm thinkin of you
Am I wasting all my time
Baby tell me the truth
I've been falling through the sky
And I can't tell which way is up
And ima feel like this forever
Cause nothings ever enough
I been driving round on empty
Need to stop n fill it up
I'm too scared to die don't wanna live
It's getting kinda tough
I've been falling through the sky
And I can't tell which way is up
And ima feel like this forever
Cause nothings ever enough
I been driving round on empty
Need to stop n fill it up
I'm too scared to die don't wanna live
It's getting kinda tough
Tell me that you're coming over
I can't take much more
I don't wanna be sober
Get lost inside my mind
When I'm thinkin of you
Am I wasting all my time
Baby tell me the truth

I wanna sleep sober
I want to be able to fall asleep without the aid of alcohol or drugs
Without thinking deep in my thoughts staying up all fucking night
I want to be able to sleep without being kept awake by racing, negative thoughts
I can never close my eyes without thoughts running in my mind
My mind is constantly active and I struggle to quiet my thoughts enough to fall asleep
I can not fall asleep
I have trouble falling asleep naturally
Unless I'm on some sleeping pills or been drinking all night
The only way I can seem to fall asleep is by taking medication or drinking alcohol
Cause if I go to sleep sober
If I try to sleep without any aid, I know I will still be awake in the morning
I'll see y'all in the morning when my minds shutting down for sure
I know that if I don't use something to help me fall asleep, I'll still be awake when everyone else is waking up
I see the
Sun coming up and everybody waking up
And my ass haven't fell asleep
I feel my body getting weak
It's shutting down
When it should've shut down earlier
Now I can not keep my eyes open they getting heavier
I am still awake when everyone else is starting their day, and I feel physically drained even though I should have been asleep earlier
It's 12:00 in the afternoon
So much as happen and I don't know anything I'm inside of my room
With the lights turned off and stuck deep in my dreams
Cause sleep does not exist at night for me so I
I am waking up at noon, having missed much of the day, because I was unable to sleep until the morning. Despite being in my room with the lights off, my mind is constantly active, making sleep elusive.
But either way I just like feeling numb
I like the way it makes my body feel when I'm all alone
I don't need no company, but I don't mind the company
We can talk about anything, talk about your dreams
Although I wish I could sleep naturally, I also enjoy the feeling of numbness that comes with taking medication or drinking. I am content being on my own or with company, discussing anything and everything, including the dreams that keep me up at night.
And when I close my eyes
I see everything that I want
Maybe that's the reason why I can not sleep
Cause I'm chasing a dream
That's not guaranteed
Even when I am able to close my eyes, I am still kept awake by my mind, which is fixated on my ambitions and desires. I realize that these goals may not be achievable, leading to anxiety and further sleeplessness.
So sleeping sober's not in my mind
I am so used to relying on medication or alcohol to fall asleep that the idea of doing so without them doesn't even cross my mind.
