Lyrics Allen Stone

Allen Stone

Sleep

Spend my nights howlin' at the moon,

Never wake before noon,

When the sun, it rises,

Oh, it always rises soon,

'Cause I spend my nights howlin' at the moon, yeah,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,

No, I just reach, rea-, reach,

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why I never get sleep,

(I can't get no sleep,

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep,

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep,

Don't know why,)

Spend my night shootin' at the stars, yeah,

Tryin' to change the world with this guitar,

And I know it's a long shot, but it's working out so far,

So I spend my nights shootin' at the stars, hey,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,

No, I just reach, rea-, reach,

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why I never get sleep,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep (never get sleep),

Don't know why,

I can't get no sleep,

(Count sheep),

I've already tried,

(Drink whiskey),

It makes my throat too dry,

(Smoke weed),

It makes my eyes all red,

(Take a pill, Al),

What, and end up dead?

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why I never get sleep, hey,

I never get sleep, sleep, sleep,

No, I just reach, rea-, reach,

I can feel it on the ends of my fingers,

And taste it on the tips of my teeth,

So you see why I never get sleep, yeah,

Yeah, you see why I never get sleep,

Oh, so you see why I never get sleep.
