Hold your pattern ‘til I fall asleep

And soon I’m not afraid

Catch me when I fall asleep

And the edges fade away

Try to catch the telephone in time

But it’s buried in the sand

Run the riddle back again

Until I understand

Is your color wheel a solid blue?

Do your birds only sing out of tune?

Think you're spreadin’ yourself too thin

And the summer’s gettin’ under your skin

So you try to sleep

But all your dreams are bittersweet

Something’s calling me

Like a siren on repeat

Is your house on a slippery slope?

Is your honey due?

Have you tangled the yarn in your head?

Whatchu tryna do?

Yeah, those spinning wheels that can’t be beat

They all vanish when you sleep

But that phone is ringin’ off the hook

Echoing everywhere that I look

Is anyone there? Pick up

I can’t stop waking up

No matter what I do

Keep thinkin’ I have a shot

Then the wake-up call is dropped

There’s nothing I can do

Finally get thru with some luck

But the line keeps breaking up

No matter what I do

Is anyone there? Pick up

I can’t stop waking up

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

(Mmm)

There’s nothing I can do

(Mmm)
