lyrics

I can’t sleep again
So I am ordering some food
Scrolling through the movies
Coming up empty on Hulu

I think I inherited
Insomnia from Mom
She was always pacing round
At night when I was young

Laying on the couch
And counting ways that we have changed
Normally it bothers me
But tonight it’s not so strange

Our friends are packing up
And moving far away
That’s alright with me as long as
They’re doing okay

It’s you and me
As far as I can see

Still awake and dreaming of the dreams that might come true
Still awake and wishing I could sleep as sound as you
When I get too self-aware
My mistakes are hard to bear
But whenever I am with you I don’t care

I don’t think I need to sleep
My brain is all aglow
If I got in bed with you
I’d fidget til you woke

So I’ll fight the morning
Do my best to not be rude
I will be here if you need me
Waiting on my food

It's you and me
As far as I can see

Still awake and dreaming of the dreams that might come true
Still awake and wishing I could sleep as sound as you
When I get too self-aware
My mistakes are hard to bear
But whenever I am with you I don’t care

It’s you and me
As far as I can see
