You know those nights when you can't sleep because your mind is working overtime.................
lyrics
Did you sleep well last night?
Did your phone hold you night?
When the lights die, are you down, down?
Do the nights drive you round, round?
Did you mess up that call?
Is your back against the wall?
When the lights die, do you drown, drown?
Nights driving you round, round
Haunting you with everything
You didn’t do, wouldn’t do, couldn’t do
Everything you didn’t say, wouldn’t say, shouldn’t say
And it’s always,
One, said that stupid thing
Two, missed that key meeting
Three, sheep aren’t working
Four, behind on everything
Five, said that stupid thing
Six, damn sheep aren’t working
Did you sleep well last night?
Did your phone hold you night?
When the lights die, your mind’s loud, loud
Nights going round, round?
Taunting you with everything
You didn’t know, couldn’t do, shouldn’t do
Everything you didn’t fight, wouldn’t fight, shouldn’t fight
And it’s always,
One, said that stupid thing
Two, missed that key meeting
Three, sheep aren’t working
Nine, behind on everything
Twelve, said that stupid thing
Fifty-five, damn sheep aren’t working
Did you sleep well last night?
Did you phone hug you tight?
And it’s always round and round and round……
