Cicadas

It's three in the morning and I haven't slept a wink

I can't turn off my brain, yeah, all it wants to do is think

Think about all my problems and regrets that I've made

All the people that I miss, and the debts to be paid

And I toss and turn and pray

That these thoughts would go away

And I'd know what it's like to sleep

To have the feeling of still

To have the quiet ability

To drift off away to the deep

To know the feeling of flight in the night as the light

Is wrapped in magical folds of stars

To feel the wind in my hair

My body floating in air

As I am looking on down from above

But I'm a light, light sleeper

And the sounds of the cicadas keep me up

Now it's four in the morning and my mind is still awake

Yeah, it's drolly reciting all my flaws and my mistakes

Is there time for relief or is there time for reprieve

Is there something that I'm missing, oh, what can I believe

And I'm tired in my heart

I don't wanna fall apart

But I'm longing to be asleep

And I turn over again

Oh, will this night ever end

Or am I trapped in the void, in the deep

To know the feeling of flight in the night as the light

Is wrapped in magical folds of stars

To feel the wind in my hair

My body floating in air

As I am looking on down from above

Oh, what I might see there if I dared to try

I know that you'd be there if I closed my eyes

But I'm a light, light sleeper

And the sounds of the cicadas keep me up
