  • Lay me down to sleep
    Sweet dreams never come to me
    Just some time between two crazy days
    Guess I can't complain I get pleasure
    I get pleasure I get pain
    I'm just trying to get as much as I gave
    Cutting loose from all this lonely misery
    Gotta get a move on
    Time ain't gonna wait for me

    Writing's on the wall
    I can hear the beckon call
    Of the things that I have yet to see
    Waitin' round be damned
    Losing faith in who I am
    Got to shake myself and tell me that I'm free
    I ain't one to hang around and see
    Gotta get a move on
    Time ain't gonna wait for me

    Patience is just lost on me
    This thing they call it destiny
    Gimme all that I've got
    Coming to me

    Lay me down to sleep
    Sweet dreams never come to me
    Like I'm always just one wink away
    I can't stand to wonder what could be
    Gotta get a move on
    Time ain't gonna wait for me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
