[Verse 1]

I've been tossin' and turnin'

Spent nights countin' sheep, my girl

It's already mornin', I still can't sleep

And it's hot in my room

And I stuck to the sheets, my girl

I'm soaked from my head down to my feet


[Verse 2]

But you're here, lyin' next to me

And the melody surrounds you

Encasing you in sound

You're here, lyin' fast asleep

While the sky that hangs above you

Has been shaken to the ground


[Verse 3]

I was restless like crazy

And I made my mistakes, my girl

I took every chance that I could take

I was runnin' around town

When I smashed on the ground, so hard

I got trouble believin' I'm still around


[Verse 4]

As you would glide across the floor

I can't deny it was graceful

And darling, you implode

If you had made it out the door

You consider yourself grateful

But you don't even want to know


[Bridge]

And the sound'll save you

Ohhhhh, ohhhh

Ohhhhh, ohhhh

Go to sleep, my dear baby


[Verse 5]

You're here, lyin' down in bed

While the dog that loves you dearly

Has been taken to the pound

You sleep face down, like you're dead

These lovin' arms to hold you

Will only hold you down
