Song

I can't sleep at night
'cause I know you're wide awake
and I wanna hold you tight
but you're so many goddam miles away.

So I dream of our tomorrow
and all the things you've said
and I wonder,
oh I wonder,
about what's goin' on in your head.
Do you ever miss me?
Do you wonder too?
Did you know I need you?

Oh, no, no,
I can't sleep at night.

The days and evenings intertwine
to that interminable silence
where we're both standing with a shiver
running down our spines.
We could stand a little closer
if only we were older,
and we're just getting nowhere,
but that's okay.
'Cause I'm getting nowhere with you today.

I can't sleep tonight
'cause I know you're wide awake
and I wanna hug you tight
but the miles make me ache.

It started out a lullaby,
and I was gonna read it out to you
but the miles and the hours
make it so much harder now to do.
I don't want to be alone,
I want to be alone with you.

Did you know I can't sleep?
No, no,
not tonight,
not without you.
