Insomnia

Staring into your eyes,
I saw something I wanted,
Looking too far behind,
And I'm losing track of time,
A beautiful distraction,
Keeping me close,
I cannot look away,
Locked in the same position
With my eyes looking into yours,
The sun shining on your face,
Light rain falling from the sky,
I cannot look away.

It's been a while
Since I've said anything,
I've spent more time thinking of you
Then I've spent time sleeping.

Stumbling down the stairs,
Tripping over chairs,
When I see you,
Anytime I think of you,
Leaving books and thoughts behind,
I can't get rid of you,
I try to live a simple life,
But you come back in my dreams,
I can't concentrate,
All I see, All I think about,
All I feel, All I speak about,
Is you.

Sometimes I feel that I'm
Living a double life,
Everything starts to collide,
The light shines brighter
Than the bright blue sky,
I picture you at the end of the tunnel,
I can't sleep anymore.

I start to fall behind,
One step forward, three steps back,
This heart's been turned inside-out,
I've got the urge to let it out,
My mind goes blank,
And I'm staring into your eyes,
Motionless, speechless,
Everyone else fades away,
But you stay, you shine through.

I'll take my chances
And find out what life's about,
These pathetic games
I see, I'm feeling right,
I'm going all out,
And it feels right,
All these times I've sat by,
Contemplated and let it go,
I've made mistakes and I regret them,
It took too long,
Sometimes it feels so wrong,
Oh.
