Can’t sleep
Until 5 am
Rinse and repeat
As I turn around and do it all again
The cycle feels unending
Stuck in a loop that keeps extending
How do I beat this imaginary friend
Awake all night
Until my eyes finally give in
Maybe tonight will be different
I hope for a better slumber
Only to be disappointed again
Oh Mr. Sandman
I wish you’d bring me a dream
You can make it whatever you please
I never thought I would be
One to beg and plead
To let me sleep
Bring me to a place
That I’ve never seen
Oh Mr. Sandman
Will you bring me a dream?
