Lyrics
Lying Awake
Ollie Plunkett
Verse
It’s four o’clock in the morning and I can’t sleep a wink
The trains go by my window and I’m still lying awake
The old familiar signs the constant turning sides
The air conditioned hum the traffic noise outside
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
Verse
It’s another room, in another place, but the same old me
The constant turning twisting and I can’t get to sleep
The old familiar signs, the shadows from within
The light below the curtain, the itch beneath the skin
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
Chorus
Why can’t you see, things from my side
Why can’t you see, things from my side
Why can’t you see, things from my side
Why can’t you see, things from my side
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
Chorus
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Shouldn’t take too long, to figure it out
Shouldn’t take too long, to figure it out
Shouldn’t take too long, to figure it out
Shouldn’t take too long, to figure it out
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
When I look into your eyes and I see trouble
Chorus
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
Why can’t you see things from my side
