[Verse] Eyes wide open staring at the ceiling Countless sheep but none are feeling The need to drift or gently fall asleep In this restless night my thoughts just creep [Verse 2] Toss and turn the bed feels like a prison Every little sound is just a mission Clock is ticking louder than a drum Sleepy world but I just can't succumb [Chorus] Why's the moon so bright when I'm trying to sleep Why's my mind so wild in this peaceful keep Pillow talk with shadows and the silence deep Why's the night so loud when I'm counting sheep [Verse 3] Blanket tangled like a twisted riddle Mind playing loops like a broken fiddle Stars are whispering tales of far-off lands Sleep's a stranger slipping through my hands [Bridge] Wishing dreams to take my hand tonight Fighting battles in the pale moonlight Hoping dawn brings rest with its soft embrace I'll dance with dreams in this quiet space [Chorus] Why's the moon so bright when I'm trying to sleep Why's my mind so wild in this peaceful keep Pillow talk with shadows and the silence deep Why's the night so loud when I'm counting sheep
