[Verse 1]
I needed some time
I needed a day
I needed to put the grim in a box
And put that box away
I needed to climb
Into my bed
Cocoon myself off
Until I emerge ready for the world again

[Chorus 1]
No, I've been lyin' here, oh
Wonderin' just how long a good rest should go one
Rather be sleepin' but I'm starin' at the wall
I should be sleepin' but I'm wide awake

[Bridge]
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
I imagine my yard
Is covered in slugs
And for every one I crush with my shoe
Begets another two
[Chorus 2]
When they're the lucky ones
When the whole world's caught both sides[?]
Outside the local pub
I gotta think[?]
And it's always on my mind
I should be sleeping but I am wide
I should be sleeping but I am wide
I should be sleeping but I am wide awake
