Lyrics
Sleep On It
Written By Charles D'Simone
4:27 AM
Been trying to sleep for hours
I can't remember when
I had a decent night of sleep
What's the point of waking up
And getting out of bed
If I can't fight this emptiness
From filling up my head
[Chorus]
I just want to sleep
I want to sleep on it
I just want to sleep
I just want to sleep
Time took a picture and then
Stole it from my memory
I can't remember where
But I know I had peace in me
Now I struggle every night
Until the light appears
And I live inside this room
With my blanket of fears
[Chorus]
I just want to sleep
I want to sleep on it
I just want to sleep
I just want to sleep
Time took a picture
I just want to sleep
Time took a picture
I just want to sleep
Time took a picture
I just want to sleep
Time took a picture
