always stay right next to me?
The peaceful slumber that you give me,
soothes all of my troubled thoughts.
It makes me feel worry free.
I need you more than you may think.
I have had many nights where I am nothing but exhausted,
and instead of having restful dreams, all I see is black and pink.
Mr. Sand Man, won't you please,
always stay right next to me?
You have the antidote for my anxiety.
When I am worried, my chest feels heavy,
but a delightful side effect of the spell you cast, is that once again I can breathe.
Why are you not here at this moment?
It is like you play a sick game,
Where the meaning behind your wickedness is your need torment.
Mr. Sand Man, won't you please,
always stay right next to me?
I don't understand.
For others can fall asleep in a single blink;
they don't even need a hand.
Well I try everything I can.
I toss and turn, but to no avail.
This is why I believe you have a wicked plan.
I don't know why I am the target of your torment.
I've tried many things to conjure you up,
But apparently you don't think my happiness is even worth a peppermint.
Please give me the secret,
To resting my head down when I am fatigued, and instantly catching Z's.
I swear I will keep it, because I need it.
Mr. Sand Man, won't you please,
always stay right next to me?
Sleep often eludes me as well, so I could relate to your line "I have had many nights where I am nothing but exhausted, and instead of having restful dreams, all I see is black and pink." Perhaps this is why I've developed a dependency on Tylenol PM. Not being able to sleep and lying there replaying all my worries and regrets is truly one of my biggest fears.
