Insomnia

In the absence of warm breath on my neck
I tell myself it'll get better
But it'll get worse I'll bet

I follow the footsteps in the rhythm of your heartbeat
Tell myself maybe this moment won't end if I
Stay fast asleep in this daydream
Nobody pinch me (awake)
I stay fast asleep in this daydream
Further into the abyss, I drift
Shaking my head like, oh no what have I done here?
Shaking my head like no; what have I done here?

And maybe we'll be frozen right here in the moment
Under the streetlight somewhere in Covent garden
Begging for dawn to stay away a little longer
At 5am, it's fair tospeak to the starry sky
Wondering where have you been all my life?

When I've had enough of the cold
I'll start to dream of warmer weather
You brought summer into my life
When I was used to rain and ducking for cover
Maybe the heatwaves ahead
Will help me brave some of the pain

I can't let go so easily
I get attached to things I know
Maybe if I didn't memorise your heartbeat
I could fall asleep at all
I can't let go so easily
I get attached to things I know
Maybe if I didn't memorise your heartbeat
I could fall asleep at all

Everything reminds me of you
From pizza to weather to the songs stuck in my head; whatever it may be
I'll find a connection, you wait and see
I can't seem to get away from thoughts of you so I run instead
Away, away, away from it
Away away awa-a-ay
Away, away, away from it
Away away awa-a-ay

You made me jump into the unknown and out of my comfort zone
Without a care, not thinkin' ahead no no no
Felt like missing a step in the dark
The moment that quickens your heart
Oh baby am I allowed to think that far?
no no no x2
I heard: just hold on to the moment
Said don't worry, I can't seem to let go so easily oh!
Can't seem to fall asleep, feel like I'm in a dream
