hey, hey.
Hey insomnia, can we sleep?
Or if you’d rather, we’ll sit and weep
Over lost loves and newfound truths
The kind of thing we lose after youth
Hey sadness, can we smile?
I suppose instead we could laugh for a while
About the world so cold and cruel
And you can tell me happiness is only for fools
Dear love, can you stay?
My dear love, I miss you day after day
When you left insomnia and sadness took your place
And neither of them quite measure up to your face
Hey anxiety, can we breathe?
I’m not sure how much more my chest can heave
Your pins and needles lace my insides
Your illness and strain lay beside
Hey girl, can we talk?
If that’s not enough we can turn back the clock
There’s all the time in the world to explain
And just to know you again would ease the pain
Or if you’d rather, we’ll sit and weep
Over lost loves and newfound truths
The kind of thing we lose after youth
Hey sadness, can we smile?
I suppose instead we could laugh for a while
About the world so cold and cruel
And you can tell me happiness is only for fools
Dear love, can you stay?
My dear love, I miss you day after day
When you left insomnia and sadness took your place
And neither of them quite measure up to your face
Hey anxiety, can we breathe?
I’m not sure how much more my chest can heave
Your pins and needles lace my insides
Your illness and strain lay beside
Hey girl, can we talk?
If that’s not enough we can turn back the clock
There’s all the time in the world to explain
And just to know you again would ease the pain
