3 AM, laying in bed, fighting off my tired eyes
Wrap myself in white noise, drown out the thoughts in my mind
Apparently counting sheep just doesn't get me too far
'Cause by the time I get to five, four, three, two, one, there you are

I see you in R-E-M
And it rips the band-aid off again
When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up
I still feel the pain all the same, though
I see you in R-E-M
What seemed so real was all pretend
When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up
You're gone again until the next night

No, I don't, no, I don't
Don't wanna sleep tonight
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
You gon' let the bed bugs bite (when I wake, when I wake up)
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
You're gone again until the next night (no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't)

7 AM, Sun is peeking through my blinds
I'ma hit snooze about 14 more times
Can't tell if the bluebird is singing, or he's crying
Bittersweet tune, it could be a lullaby
Even in my dreams, you don't speak, but you're right there
A ghost of who I once knew, does that make you a nightmare?
I'm running, but my feet don't move
My subconscious still can't shake you

So I see you in R-E-M
And it rips the band-aid off again
When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up (when I wake up)
I still feel the pain all the same, though (all the same, though)
I see you in R-E-M
What seemed so real was all pretend
When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up
You're gone again until the next night

No, I don't, no, I don't
Don't wanna sleep tonight
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
You gon' let the bed bugs bite (when I wake, when I wake up)
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
You're gone again until the next night (no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't)

No, I don't, no, I don't
Don't wanna sleep tonight
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
You gon' let the bed bugs bite (when I wake, when I wake up)
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
You're gone again until the next night (no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't)

No, I don't, no, I don't
Don't wanna sleep tonight
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
You gon' let the bed bugs bite
When I wake, when I wake, when I wake up
You're gone again until the next night
