  • When your mind is a mess, so is mine, I can't sleep
    'Cause it hurts when I think, my thoughts aren't at peace
    With the plans that we make, chances we take
    They're not yours, they're not mine

    There's waves that can't break
    All the words that we said and the words that we mean
    Words can fall short, can't see the unseen
    'Cause the world is awake for somebody's sake
    Now please close your eyes, woman, please get some sleep

    And know that if I knew all of the answers
    I would not hold them from you
    Know all of the things that I know
    We told each other there is no other way
    Mm-mmm-mmm

    Well, too much silence can be misleading
    You're drifting, I can hear it in the way that you're breathing
    We don't really need to find reason
    'Cause out the same door that it came
    Well, it's leaving, it's leaving

    Leaving like a day that's done a part of a season
    Resolve is just a concept that's just dead as the leaves
    But at least we could sleep, it's all that we need
    When we wake we would find our minds would be free to go to sleep

    And know that if I knew all of the answers
    I would not hold them from you
    Know all of the things that I know
    'Cause we told each other there is no other way
    Mm-mmm-mmm Writer/s: Jack Hody Johnson
