Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't get to sleep, I think about the implications
Of divin' in too deep and possibly the complications
Especially at night, I worry over situations
I know we'll be alright, perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
[Verse 2]
Alone between the sheets, only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets, smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights and though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
[Verse 3]
I can't get to sleep, I think about the implications
Of divin' in too deep and possibly the complications
Especially at night, I worry over situations that
I know it'll be alright, it's just overkill
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
