(Don't) Sleep.

i'll stay up until you're next to me.
i'll look back at what we used to be..
i could wait an eternity. wait for you to see.
the way i was completely unconfident, but now i'm sure.
this is what you call insomnia, but i know you can find the cure.
all i need is you, to hold my hand.
like when we were young, and we just ran.
now i want it to be, beautiful, we can run into our own world, while we sleep.
our love would be to keep, listening to your heart, listening to your breathing, its hard to keep in what i want to be saying..
but since this will never happen, i have this thing called insomnia.

i will see you in my dreams, and they turn into nightmares, because they're so great, yet they can never happen.
i hate the way you laugh at me, when i'm in pain, when i scream.
you ignore me when i laugh, i love you, you just turn away.
i follow you, i need you, each and every day.
to get rid of this insomnia, on your shoulder i will lay.
within my body the only energy i get is from you, down in the core.
i want you to just wrap your arms around just once more..
you can give me something to care for, and to rest.
i put my head onto your chest and i think of thoughts i love,
what i want is to sleep, but then again its you.
without sleep i won't have you and without you there's no way to rest again.
either way, i won't survive,
for having sleep, it's just a lie to be with you.
but to be with you, is an excuse to sleep.
i will sit here completely alone, just shy of all my dreams,
because of this stupid little thing, called insomnia.
