Shelbyville Dream Shimmer
I count invisible seconds in my head,
overturning long, lost memories in bed.
I just can't fade away and forget about today.
I've lost so much sleep in the past,
comfort on one side never seems to last.
Just one time, just one time please.
Harassed by these nagging sheets,
tossing and turning but all I want is one last dream.
An empty stomach, a throbbing headache,
this full moon won't let me sleep.
It feels like I've lived most of my life in my bed
wanting to see the world through my dreams,
but instead I'm falling apart at the seams.
Harassed by these nagging sheets,
tossing and turning but all I want is one last dream.
An empty stomach, a throbbing headache,
this full moon won't let me sleep.
I want to fall asleep with you;
it's the only way I'll get to sleep tonight.
If you would, I know you should,
spend this night; everything will be alright.
