I fall asleep


I fall asleep
after a long night thinking of you
it's all I can do
to not stay awake
and then I dream
about what we're going through
even though it isn't true
it's there to take

I fall asleep
after I've had a few drinks
I don't need time to think
I just want to rest
my weary eyes
look for you all day long
but all I see is wrong
even though I try my best

          when I'm awake
          you take all my attention
          but everything I think
          is only a reinvention
          that I can't control

I fall asleep
when I can't stay awake no more
all that time keeping score
in case I win
my active mind
I can feel it closing down
someday you won't be around
and I can fall asleep again
