Sonny and Cher were singing 'I Got You, Babe'
So, I tuned into the laughter that the television made
Saw a shadow in the corner move now I'm trying to be brave
Back when I was little
I held onto my pillow
Thinking: all the monsters stay under the bed
But it isn't like one of those fairy tales
There's no 'long ago'
It's not far enough away
To put these sleepless nights to rest
Parents went out hours ago
Weren't around to know
I was up after Don Lane
And you told me that they would be angry if I had been up so late
And you said if I said what you did that they wouldn't love me again
Back when I was little
I held onto my pillow
Thinking: all the monsters stay under the bed
And it isn't like one of those fairy tales
There's no 'long ago'
It's not far enough away
To put these sleepless nights to rest
Up and around while your asleep
Here with the memories and the sitcoms on telly
Nothing here but persistent ghosts
And the sound of someone laughing at a stupid joke
Sleepless
Hoping
I'll find a way to get over it
Sleepless
Hoping
I'll find a way to get over the
Voices
Talking
Every night until morning
I'm sleepless
Hoping
Back when I was little
I held onto my pillow
Thinking: all the monsters stay under the bed
