I'd be hanging on their words Like they almost meant a thing And the only lullaby I heard The sirens blaring, singing me to sleep Holding my loved one tight On the softness of her laugh I could almost make my bed But the racket of her absence draw in The sirens blaring, ringing in my head Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight With my eyes so wide In a house without a back door I was looking for a fire escape And I'll be ripping up the floorboards Just trying to get away From this sleeplessness Sleeplessness, sleeplessness She'd be hanging on my words Like I almost meant a thing And I'd give anything not to let her down But finally, sleep through just one noisy tonight Holding her so tight, holding her so tight But my eyes are wide In a house without a back door I was looking for a fire escape And I'll be ripping up the floorboards Just trying to get away From this sleeplessness Sleeplessness, sleeplessness 'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why Oooh, I know why It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word And I'll just hurt until I find one I'll just hurt until I find one And I've been trying all the windows And I've been running up the staircase In a house without a back door Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness In a house without a backdoor (sleeplessness) I was looking for a fire escape (sleeplessness) And I'd be ripping up the floorboards (sleeplessness) Just trying to get away
