Stand by Me (Remix) (Remix)

OK I'm boring you, I'm warning you tonight, This isn’t the time for fights— Lies, white or otherwise. My mood isn’t better yet, Sober and humorless, If you can't handle this, Roll off the mattress. I'm trying to let you know That you matter more than most, When we're tangled in the sheets I forget what hurts the most. And you're the finest of specimens, Leaving me breathless, Reeling and restless, Putting me to the test. Pre-Chorus Turn the light off, Leave me where I lay— Bring the night on, Not another day. Chorus OK I'm lying When I'm telling you you're right, But you don’t like the truth Served straight or otherwise. I'm an insomniac, Tossing and turning and— Getting repetitive, Swallow a sedative. --- Verse 2 (new, completed) You say I'm drifting now, Lost somewhere inside my head, Talking circles ‘round the things We never really said. You trace the worries on my skin, Try to smooth them out again, But every time you get too close I pull back where I’ve been. You read me effortlessly, Like a book you shouldn’t keep, Pages torn and scribbled in From nights I couldn’t sleep. Still you stay despite the mess, Calling out the things I press So far down I can't confess— You see them nonetheless. Pre-Chorus Turn the noise down, Hear the way I shake— Pull the moon out, Let it watch us break. Chorus OK I'm lying When I'm telling you you're right, But you don’t like the truth Served straight or otherwise. I'm an insomniac, Tossing and turning and— Getting repetitive, Swallow a sedative. --- Bridge Maybe I’m too tangled in The storms I never name, Maybe you’re the only calm That ever feels the same. Hold me through the aftershocks, Through every sleepless night— Stay until the morning comes And steals away the fight. --- Final Chorus OK I'm trying, But I’m running out of light, Still you stay and steady me When nothing else feels right. I’m an insomniac, Tossing and turning and— Always repetitive, Reaching for the sedative. Turn the world off, Let the dark rewind— If I lose myself again, You know just where to find. I’m an insomniac, Restless but sensitive— But somehow you quiet it, Better than a sedative.
