Lately it's been long days and longer nights
The sandman and I always fight
The man on the moon won't turn off his
Bright white light
I've been so far gone, for far too long
The clock ticks slow and the heart breaks wrong
I ain't sleeping
I hate sleeping on my own
So I flip the pillow
Pull the cover
I ain't had a good slumber all summer
I've been asking Father, give me rest
Whenever I shut eye
I shatter on the inside
My mind's wide open
Heart keeps going on
Whenever I shut eye
I lay and think about your brown eyes
How I made them weak
Now I just can't seem to sleep
Whenever I shut eye
Can't shut off
Laying awake with my thoughts
Thinking 'bout the love that I've lost, oh-oh
I can't get no shut eye no more
♪
Now I lay me down to toss and turn
Driving off all my bridges burned
If I die before I sleep
Will you be someone who mourns me
Whenever I shut eye
I shatter on the inside
My mind's wide open
Heart keeps going on
Whenever I shut eye
I lay and think about your brown eyes
How I made them weak
Now I just can't seem to sleep
Whenever I shut eye
Can't shut off
Laying awake with my thoughts
Thinking 'bout the love that I've lost, oh-oh
I can't get no shut eye no more
