I'm a Sucker for a Kind Word

I'd be hanging on their words

Like they almost meant a thing

In the only lullaby I heard,

Their 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 joined

The sirens blaring ringing in my head

Holding nothing tight,

Holding nothing tight

With my eyes so wide

In a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be ripping up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

From this sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness

She'd be hanging on my words

Like I almost meant a thing

And I'd give anything not to let her down

to finally sleep through just one noisy night

Holding her so tight, holding her so tight

But my eyes are wide

In a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be ripping up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

From this sleeplessness

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

'Cause my mind just can't stop movin'

And 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

And I'll just hurt until I find one

And I've been trying all the windows

And I've been running up the staircase

In a house without a backdoor...

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness

In a house without a backdoor (Sleeplessness)

I was looking for a fire escape (Sleeplessness)

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

Just trying to get away...
