I'm Not Sleeping- Counting Crows

"Spend my nights in self defense"

I'm so sleepy. I went out last night and woke up early this morning.  You know that saying that in college you have to choose two out of the three: sleep, good grades, a social life?  Yeah, I choose good grades and a social life.  I can always take naps if need be.

I love the Counting Crows and have fallen madly in love with this song.  They almost sound like Oasis in this.  Love the orchestra, the beatles-esque guitar riffs, and the actual melodic line.  Really great song from the Counting Crows.

She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me, she holds my hand when I'm crying
She comes to me, she shuts my eyes
She brings me home

But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
She tells me when you look at me, she tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me, she lays me on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering, she lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors

But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
1,2,3,4,5,6 a.m.
All alone again
But I've been through all this shit before
Spend my nights in self defense
Cry about my innocence
But I ain't all that innocent anymore, more, more
I see her on the TV, I see her in the movies
I see her in these animals that dance beside my bed
I'll follow you down baby, down into this valley
I'll follow you down baby, but I won't come up again
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping anymore

I said rain rain go away
come again some other day
cause I got all this shit to say
but I've gone back to find my way
My sister's mother's favorite son
lost among the chosen ones
but I've got news for everyone
cause I've gone out that door
