I can never fall asleep
At the same time of the night
and I'll never get up
the same time the next day
Sometimes I can never fall asleep
And sometimes I can never seem to wake
Sometimes I like to see an old couple in love
and sometimes I can't bear the sight
Most of the time I don't like to argue
But sometimes I just need to be right
Sometimes I find it hard to believe in a God
But I know that he understands
And as inconsistent as I tend to be
I know he'll never let go of my hand
Sometimes I want nothing more than to travel the world
But these days, that's been fading away
Cause if I spend all my time exploring the mountains
I might miss a freckle on your face
Out of all these things that I falter so greatly
There's one thing I can fearlessly say:
"Into this furnace I ask you now to venture, you whom I cannot betray." ~ Leonard Cohen
