Sleepless Again

Sleepless Again

Looking out the window I see the haze around the street light.
The same view I see on every other sleepless night.
Laying here all night long my thoughts race very fast,
Jumping from the present to the future and haunted by the past.

The words you say circle around in my head.
Lift me to my feet; keep me from lying in my bed.
Don’t you realize being happy is what I miss.
Don’t you realize you could save my life with just a kiss?

I think how wonderful love is and question why the world has so much hate.
I glance again at the clock not sure whether it’s now early or late.
I think about my life and what I will do with the day.
Can I affect the world with my actions or words I say?

You said those words to me once again today.
I didn’t know if it was truthful or just a game of play.
What do you want from me can’t you make it clear.
I wish I could stop your words from repeating in my ear.

Sometimes on nights likes this I sit and laugh, others I sit and weep.
Sometimes I’m thankful to be awake and others I just want sleep.
Why does it have to be this way, I feel like I’m going insane.
Is it true you never fall in love without feeling the pain?

Now there is no way to resolve this with a kiss.
It is the security I crave; it is what I really miss.
I know you understand why I’m sleepless again tonight.
It’s just the way the world is, there is no way to make it right.
