It's like I can't get enough oxygen into
My lungs
I could never get enough sleep
Into my eyes
I just couldn't get enough pills
In my system
Couldn't quite get enough good thoughts
In my head
I just couldn't get the knot
Loose enough
I just couldn't hold my breath
Long enough
Don't look in my closet because I love you
And I want to spare you
So save yourself and
Go to sleep
