Counting Sheep

She don't know what she does when she does it

And she don't know what it means, but she means it man

And I watch as her wheels spin in motion

And I'm filled with familiar emotions

Her heart is what everyone is after

She possesses the wisdom of laughter

I'm the burden she feels when she's counting sheep

Becomes something real when she's fast asleep

Hey, won't you stay?

I don't wanna be the one that you're running from

Hey, won't you stay?

Were you ever everything to anyone?

And hey, won't you stay?

I don't wanna be the one that you're running from

Hey, won't you stay?

She says not to worry as she's out the door

In her absence I find I'm wanting more

Now this longing only helps the songs I've sung

And there's no one to blame when the jury's hung

I see her in social situations

Ignoring the investigation

But the choices she's made seem to plague her sleep

Rewind isn't kind when you're counting sheep

Hey, won't you stay?

I don't wanna be the one that you're running from

Hey, won't you stay?

Were you ever everything to anyone?

And hey, won't you stay?

I don't wanna be the one that you're running from

Hey, won't you stay?
