[Verse 1]
I saw the city from the window of an airplane
(I got bummed and I thought, "There’s nothing except for a lot.")
I was too anxious to get anything accomplished
(Well, my mind floated around while I tried pulling it down)

[Verse 2]
I have so many things that I can’t find a place for
(My head got overrun and these things are no more fun)
I tried to shake it, but it shook me down completely
(There’s no telling right now, but I tried spelling it out)

[Chorus]
Oh, I fall asleep
But not so easily as I might
Oh, I try to keep
Every little thing in mind

[Bridge]
Oh wait, I poured out all my heart
That’s not the saddest part
All this time
I had thought
There’d be more
But, oh, it was like
There was nothing to pour
Oh, I can’t be sure
(Oh, I never can relax)

[Chorus]
Oh, I fall asleep
But not so easily as I might
Oh, I try to keep
Every little thing in mind

(I never can relax)
