Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I turned the lamp down low
Still my head won't slow
Thoughts like cars on a bridge
Rolling through that dark edge
My pillow knows my name
But sleep won't come the same
I count the cracks above
And lose the ones I love
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to breathe it out
Tried to be still
But the room keeps talking
And my mind won't sit still
[Chorus]
Shut up, restless mind
Let me fall asleep
Shut up, restless mind
Let me sink that deep
(Shut up, restless mind)
Keep your little noise
Far from my bed tonight
[Verse 2]
The clock blinks blue and mean
Cuts through the quiet scene
My bones are heavy stone
But my thoughts won't leave me alone
I let the sheets hang loose
I let the night cut through
Still every little fear
Keeps on pacing in my ear
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to breathe it out
Tried to be still
But the room keeps talking
And my mind won't sit still
[Chorus]
Shut up, restless mind
Let me fall asleep
Shut up, restless mind
Let me sink that deep
(Shut up, restless mind)
Keep your little noise
Far from my bed tonight
[Bridge]
If morning waits out there
It can wait a while
I'm tired of this runaway
Tired of this crooked mile
So I close my eyes again
Let the dark come in
Maybe peace is just a door
I can lean on and give in
[Chorus]
Shut up, restless mind
Let me fall asleep
Shut up, restless mind
Let me sink that deep
(Shut up, restless mind)
Keep your little noise
Far from my bed tonight
[Outro]
Hush now
Let me drift
Hush now
Let me drift
