Lyrics
I bought some brand new sheets
I purchased new bed sheets
And I still can't sleep
Despite having new sheets, I still struggle to sleep
I bought some brand new sheets
Repetition of buying new sheets
And I still can't sleep
Reiteration of the ongoing difficulty in sleeping
I count a thousand sheep
I attempt to sleep by counting a large number of imaginary sheep
And I still can't sleep
The effort of counting sheep doesn't help in achieving sleep
I count a thousand sheep
Repetition of the unsuccessful attempt to sleep through counting sheep
And I still can't sleep
Continued difficulty in falling asleep despite efforts
You're not my dream girl
The person addressed is not the speaker's ideal dream partner
You're the reason I can't dream
The addressed person is the cause of the speaker's inability to dream
You're not my dream girl
Repetition of the idea that the person is not the speaker's dream partner
You're the reason I can't dream
Reiteration of the impact of the person on the speaker's ability to dream
You're like coffee
Comparison of the person to coffee, indicating dislike
I hate coffee
The speaker expresses a dislike for coffee
My best mate says you look groggy
A friend comments on the person's tired appearance
No surprise, baggy eyes
Observation of the person having tired or baggy eyes
I fell asleep on the bus
The speaker fell asleep on the bus, causing inconvenience
I missed my stop twice
The speaker missed their bus stop twice due to sleepiness
I drank some herbal tea
The speaker tries herbal tea to aid sleep
And I still can't sleep
Despite trying herbal tea, the speaker still struggles to sleep
I ask my soul to keep
The speaker seeks protection for their soul while attempting to sleep
And I still can't sleep
Despite seeking spiritual protection, sleep remains elusive
You're not my dream girl
The person addressed is reiterated as not being the speaker's dream partner
You're the reason I can't dream
Repetition of the idea that the person hinders the speaker's ability to dream
You're not my dream girl
Reiteration that the person is not the speaker's ideal dream partner
You're the reason I can't dream
Reiteration of the impact of the person on the speaker's ability to dream
I can't sleep
The speaker faces difficulty in sleeping
Unless you're with me
The speaker can only sleep when the addressed person is present
I can't sleep
Repetition of the dependence on the person for sleep
Unless you're with me
Continued expression of the need for the person's presence to sleep
I can't sleep
The dependence on the person for sleep is reiterated
Unless you're with me
Continued expression of the necessity of the person's presence for sleep
I can't sleep
Repetition of the theme of dependence on the person for sleep
Unless you're with me
Continued expression of the need for the person's presence to sleep
You're not my dream
The person is acknowledged as not being the speaker's dream
You're the reason
Reiteration that the person is the reason for the speaker's inability to dream
