3 AM, laying in bed, fighting off my tired eyes Wrap myself in white noise, drown out the thoughts in my mind Apparently counting sheep just doesn't get me too far 'Cause by the time I get to five, four, three, two, one, there you are I see you in R-E-M And it rips the band-aid off again When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up I still feel the pain all the same, though I see you in R-E-M What seemed so real was all pretend When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up You're gone again until the next night No, I don't, no, I don't Don't wanna sleep tonight 'Cause I know, 'cause I know You gon' let the bed bugs bite (when I wake, when I wake up) No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't You're gone again until the next night (no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't) 7 AM, Sun is peeking through my blinds I'ma hit snooze about 14 more times Can't tell if the bluebird is singing, or he's crying Bittersweet tune, it could be a lullaby Even in my dreams, you don't speak, but you're right there A ghost of who I once knew, does that make you a nightmare? I'm running, but my feet don't move My subconscious still can't shake you So I see you in R-E-M And it rips the band-aid off again When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up (when I wake up) I still feel the pain all the same, though (all the same, though) I see you in R-E-M What seemed so real was all pretend When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up You're gone again until the next night No, I don't, no, I don't Don't wanna sleep tonight 'Cause I know, 'cause I know You gon' let the bed bugs bite (when I wake, when I wake up) No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't You're gone again until the next night (no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't) No, I don't, no, I don't Don't wanna sleep tonight 'Cause I know, 'cause I know You gon' let the bed bugs bite (when I wake, when I wake up) No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't You're gone again until the next night (no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't) No, I don't, no, I don't Don't wanna sleep tonight 'Cause I know, 'cause I know You gon' let the bed bugs bite When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up You're gone again until the next night
