I-iii Without Sleep

(Seth Asa)

This was the first song I wrote about my lovely girlfriend when she and I were away from one another.

without sleep

i'm having trouble sleeping...
you kissed me on the cheek,
a scent of raspberries

i'm having trouble thinking...
the weirdness of my life,
my lips issue a sigh

my signals spin forever
with love, love, love
and all that silly stuff

then you slip into my covers
your skin aligns with mine
and ends the endless time

i can't sleep, i can't think, i only feel
i can't dream, i can't scream, i only feel

frantic respiration...
yes, you fill my chest
with loving lack of breath

and still i never ask you
for anything more
than what i can adore

so you dare me to go the distance
with similies sublime
and sinful smiling eyes

i'm having trouble sleeping...
you kiss me sticky sweet
a savory raspberry

i can't sleep, i can't think, i only feel
i can't dream, i can't scream, i only feel
