Quite folky, this was Jewel inspired.
Lyrics:
Another sleepless night
It's 3am and I still feel
And I still know
Light from the corners
Of the windows, I turn away
The minutes slow
The clock by my bed
It mocks every thirty second check
Just like the shadows on the walls
They throw their fairy dust
On me, every time
I start to fall
Chorus:
Wish I could see the bigger picture
Through the disguise of these sleepless nights
Wish I could see a bigger picture
With my eyes, oh these sleepless nights
Another midnight hits
I dread the bedtime crash
When I'll hate myself
Wish I understood
All the reasons behind
This damage to my health
I'm not in love
I have no school or work
And I can write easy
But sometimes
I feel like I want to cry
For no apparent reason
Chorus
When I close my eyes
I relive the memories
Analyse every which way
And I dream about the future
A strange utopia
In which I'm okay
I start to wonder sometimes
If my body's just protecting me
From the nightmares of the day
Caue they don't go away
Chorus 2:
Now I can see the bigger picture
Through this false disguise of sleepless nights
And it's not the heat, the light
The bad dreams behind my eyes
It's something much closer
And something much more real
They'll never know how I feel
During these sleepless nights
Oh, sleepless nights
It's 4am and I'm still not dreaming
thank you everyone!
