lirik lagu when i can’t sleep – andrew vandegrift
[verse 1]
maybe if i could hold a job for more than fifteen seconds
i wouldn’t be sitting up at night thinking about things reckless
i’m just feeling frustrated
thinking, what have i created?
i used to be courageous
now everything is belated
people looking at me, like how are we related
look at him, the kid wears all black
and recites poetry like rap
and really tries to act
but he always holds back
because he’s an introvert
man, what a word
heard it once
and ever sincе, i’ve hurt
because from thе moment of birth
you’re either outgoing, or you don’t have worth
at least that’s how it feels
when i’m green around the gills
when i’m thinking about the world
and how it doesn’t stand still
and everybody is running around
with a hole to fill
before they feel like
their life is going down hill
because you only get one
and some have none
so how am i going to spend it?
and who’s going to attend it?
and if i feel it falling apart
then how will i mend it?
and if i don’t think it’s that great
then how will i amend it?
what’s the grand scheme?
and is it tremendous?
is there an afterlife?
and if so, is it splendid?
will they understand my lyrics
or do i sound pretentious?
maybe i’m an “introvert”
because humans are relentless
and when i look into the mirror
i don’t see a resemblance
[chorus]
these are the things
that i think when i can’t sleep
these are the things
that i think when i feel weak
these are the things
that i think when life is bleak
these are the things
that i think, ’cause i’m a freak
these are the things
that i think when i can’t sleep
these are the things
that i think when i feel weak
these are the things
that i think when life is bleak
these are the things
that i think, ’cause i’m a freak
[verse 2]
always felt alone
but i’ve never been stoned
and when the lights go out
then my mind’s on roam
’cause i can’t sleep at night
wasted hours of my life
i remain awake, lying next to my wife
thinking, if this is what i’m like
will my kids turn out alright?
and will they still like me
after the first time that we fight?
see we don’t live forever, someday we have to die
so how do we know when something’s worth our time?
and why do some people commit suicide?
i mean i’ve considered it
cause life is a bumpy ride
and maybe you’re curious what’s on the other side
but than i found some people who made it feel alright
is it okay to have fun times, or is that immature?
and does being an adult mean you always have to work?
and the money that we earn, well what’s it really worth?
[chorus]
these are the things
that i think when i can’t sleep
these are the things
that i think when i feel weak
these are the things
that i think when life is bleak
these are the things
that i think, ’cause i’m a freak
these are the things
that i think when i can’t sleep
these are the things
that i think when i feel weak
these are the things
that i think when life is bleak
these are the things
that i think, ’cause i’m a freak
[verse 3]
i met a man named sean
and i wanted to be his apprentice
but one day he had to leave
so i guess that the test is
will i be able to fly on my own?
or will i fall down and have to go home?
if i learn how to dance
could i become a pro?
and if i learn how to sing
could i sell out a show?
and if i keep making music
then will my sk!lls grow?
with college so expensive
could i ever go?
to make it in this world
sometimes you have to leave home
and i think to myself
how would i ever go?
what if somebody i know
has a stroke, or up and croaks?
that’s a rough call to take and stay afloat
it’s these kind of thoughts
that make me tense in the throat
and if you have thoughts like this
then we’re in the same boat
[chorus]
these are the things
that i think when i can’t sleep
these are the things
that i think when i feel weak
these are the things
that i think when life is bleak
these are the things
that i think, ’cause i’m a freak
these are the things
that i think when i can’t sleep
these are the things
that i think when i feel weak
these are the things
that i think when life is bleak
these are the things
that i think, ’cause i’m a freak
