sleep won't come anywhere near me
my eyes won't close alone again tonight
ok well we both know they will
but they still fight.

baby i'm so weary. i'm sad and sick and sore.
but my mind won't stop its spinning
my heart won't stop its sinning
so i'm showing you the door.

wait don't let me let you leave me alone in this mess
in shards of glass and pools of milk with blood all down my arm
i haven't done the reading or studied for this test
i haven't learned to keep myself clean and safe from harm
one shoe's come off and i'm slipping and i'm halfway down the stairs
and maybe God would answer if she could make sense of my prayers
baby i keep losing sight of what i know is there

if i can't take your outstretched hand it's just because mine are full
holding doubts in paper cups and catching drips in pots and pans
but don't let that discourage you. hang on i'll figure something out
sit down, relax, just wait for me and soon i'll have a plan.
let me make a place for you real quick. i know i can.

you've got nowhere to go tonight, you sit so leisurely.
just say you'll stay
you will? you know,
i needed you today.
