Just So I Can Sleep

Words & Music by Spyder Darling

I drank a bottle of Jack
To wash down the Xanax
Now I’m down on the floor
But I still need some more

Cause I can’t close my eyes
Or self hypnotize
Deep breathing’s a waste
I need one more taste

Ambien
And a glass of gin
Should have done the trick
Like a flick of the Bic

Sleepytime tea
Man, just ain’t for me
I need an old time
Remedy, or two

Just so I can sleep tonight
Just so I can sleep alright
Just so I can sleep tonight
Without you

I ran five miles
Paced the Walgreen aisles
Had a t-bone steak
But I’m still wide awake

How many days
Have I been in this haze
I just can’t relax
Until you come back

Every moment you’re gone
Is 6 months too long
There’s no distracting
It’s a primal attraction

Forget counting sheep
I’m in this too deep
Without you beside
I’ll drink the town dry, again

Just so I can sleep tonight
Just so I can sleep alright
Just so I can sleep, tonight
Without you
