I'm a Sucker For a Kind Of Word

I'd be hangin' on their words

Like they almost meant a thing

And the only lullaby I heard

The sirens blaring, singing me to sleep

Holding my loved one tight...

On the softness of her laugh,

I could almost make my bed

But the racket of her absence draw in

The sirens blaring, ringing in my head

Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight

With my eyes so wide

And in a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be rippin' up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

From this sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness

She'd be hangin' on my words

Like I almost meant a thing

And I'd give anything not to let her down

But finally sleep through just one more tonight

Holding her so tight, holding her so tight

But my eyes are wide

And in a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be rippin' up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

From this sleeplessness

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

'Cause my mind just can't stop movin', I think I know why

Oooh, I know why

It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word

And I'll just hurt until I find one

I'll just hurt until I find one

And I've been tryin' all the windows

And I've been runnin' up the staircase

In a house without a backdoor...

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness

In a house without a backdoor (Sleeplessness)

I was lookin' for a fire escape (Sleeplessness)

And I'd be rippin' up the floorboards (Sleeplessness)

Just tryin' to get away...
