Let's Not Sleep Together
Awake in Love's Embrace: Matt Koerner's Melody of Midnight
Lyrics
Hey girl today's been hell
Expressing a challenging day
But now its ten past twelve
Noting the current time as 12:10 AM
My mind just won't shut down
Unable to stop thinking
The whiskey keeps on flowing
Drinking whiskey to cope
Thinking bout you has got me goin'
Thoughts of the person are affecting emotions
Wonder what you're doing now
Curiosity about the other person's activities
PRE CHORUS
Expressing a desire to return to the person's presence
If you don't mind
-I might find
-My way back to your door
-CHORUS
Introduction of the chorus
Cuz you can't sleep, and I can't sleep
Mutual insomnia, proposing to spend the night together
Let's not sleep together
-We're both awake
-So let's take tonight and make it better
-Let's not sleep together
Reiteration of the suggestion not to sleep
Well I bet you're just lying there
Imagining the other person's restless state
Staring up into thin air
-Tossing and turning in the dark
-Your smile spreads across your face
-Your heart starts to race
-You hear the noises in the yard
-PRE CHORUS
Insisting on being the cause of disturbance at the person's door
No it ain't the breeze
-Yeah that's me
-Knocking at your door
-(CHORUS)
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing staying awake together
Cuz you can't sleep, and I can't sleep
-Let's not sleep together
-We're both awake, so let's take
-Tonight and make it better
-We don't need no satin sheets let's get wrapped up in each other
-Cuz you can't sleep, and I can't sleep
-Let's not sleep together
-(OUTRO)
Extended repetition of the chorus, underlining the shared inability to sleep
No you can't sleep, and I can't sleep
-Let's not sleep together
-We're both awake, so let's take
-Tonight and make it better
-We don't need no satin sheets let's get wrapped up in each other
-Cuz you can't sleep, and I can't sleep
-Yu can't sleep no I can't sleep
-You can't sleep and I can't sleep
-Let's not sleep together
Final suggestion not to sleep together, reinforcing the theme
