Sleepless Nights
Midnight Confessions: Battling Love's Ghosts in Sleepless Nights
Lyrics
I've seen the bottom of every glass in this barroom
I've experienced the lowest point in every drink in this bar.
I've tasted every bottle on the wall
I've sampled every available bottle displayed on the wall.
I've sat on every bar stool and heard ever song on that jukebox
I've occupied every bar stool and listened to every song on the jukebox.
Lord, I've tried it all
I've attempted various experiences; I've tried it all.
The night is here for sleeping
The night is meant for sleeping.
My bed's waiting home soft and warm
My comfortable and warm bed is waiting at home.
Outside the darkness is so peaceful
Externally, the darkness is peaceful.
Oh, but inside my head there's a storm
Internally, my mind is troubled by a storm.
I know I should be home laying next to my woman
I acknowledge that I should be at home, next to my significant other.
And dreaming of some better time
I should be dreaming of better times.
But our bedroom is no place for an old lovers memory
However, our bedroom is not a suitable place for memories of an old love.
An old flame that left me behind
An old flame has moved on, leaving me behind.
So pour me another and lets drink to memories
Pour another drink and let's toast to memories.
Before you turn out the lights
Before turning out the lights, let's reminisce.
'Cause I just don't want to try and force sober
I don't want to attempt sobriety because I fear another sleepless night.
Another of those sleepless nights
Expressing a desire to avoid another night without sleep.
The night is here for sleeping
The night is meant for sleeping.
The whole world is peaceful and still
The world is peaceful and still, except for the turmoil in my heart.
Except in my heart that's breaking apart
My heart is breaking apart.
God, I loved her, guess I always will
Expressing enduring love for someone, despite the separation.
I know I should be home laying next to my woman
Recognizing the should-be scenario of being at home with a partner.
And dreaming of some better time
Dreaming of a better time.
But our bedroom is no place for an old lovers memory
Reiterating that the bedroom holds memories of a love now gone.
An old flame that left me behind
Reflecting on the departure of an old flame.
So pour me another and lets drink to memories
Proposing another toast to memories.
Before you turn out the lights
Before turning off the lights, let's remember.
'Cause I just don't want to try and force sober
Expressing reluctance to face another sleepless night without alcohol.
Another of those sleepless nights
Reiterating the aversion to a night without sleep.
Lord, I just don't want to try and force sober
Stating a strong desire to avoid sobriety for another sleepless night.
Another of those sleepless nights
Repeating the strong aversion to facing another night without sleep.
