Sleepless Songtext
von Michael Waugh

Sonny and Cher were singing "I Got You Babe"
So I tuned in to the laughter that the television made
Saw a shadow in the corner move
Now I′m trying to be brave

Back when I was little
I held on to my pillow
Thinking all the monsters stay under the bed
But it isn't like one of those fairy tales
There′s no long ago
It's not far enough away
To put these sleepless nights to rest

Parents went out hours ago
Weren't around to know I was up after dawn light
And you told me that they would be angry
If I had been up so late
And you said if I said what you did
That they wouldn′t love me again


Back when I was little
I held on to my pillow
Thinking all the monsters stay under the bed
And it isn′t like one of those fairy tales
There's no long ago
It′s not far enough away
To put these sleepless nights to rest

Up and around while you're asleep
Here with the memories and the sitcoms on telly
Nothing here but persistent ghosts
And the sound of someone laughing at a stupid joke

Sleepless, hoping
I′ll find a way to get over it
Sleepless, hoping
I'll find a way to get over the
Voices talking
Hillary not until morning
I′m sleepless, hoping
Back when I was little
I held on to my pillow
Thinking all the monsters stay under the bed
