I can't sleep when you’re not here
I leave the TV on just to hear the sound
When you're not around
I can't read, I can’t concentrate
I get stuck on the same page over and over again
Waiting for you to walk in
Goodnight angel
If you were here, we'd put 'Into The Mystic' on the stereo
And we would just disappear
But the flags are flyin' and the baby's cryin'
And it's just not fair
I can’t sleep when you’re not here
Everybody says you're a hero
Baby, you know you’ve always been mine
Least most of the time
When you come home, let's go to Carolina
Get lost a beach where they'll never find us
We'll run into the Carolina sun
Goodnight angel
If you were here, we’d put 'Into The Mystic' on the stereo
And we would just disappear
But the flags are flyin' and the baby's cryin'
And it's just not fair
I can't sleep when you're not here
I can't sleep, so I hold my breath
Remember your voice 'til I feel it in my chest
Then it makes a circle around my heart
Holding in these tears and they can't get out
Goodnight angel
If you were here, we'd put 'Into The Mystic' on the stereo
And we would just disappear
Are you lying awake just like me, baby?
Somewhere out there
I can't sleep when you're not here
I leave the TV on just to hear the sound
When you're not around
I can't read, I can’t concentrate
I get stuck on the same page over and over again
Waiting for you to walk in
Goodnight angel
If you were here, we'd put 'Into The Mystic' on the stereo
And we would just disappear
But the flags are flyin' and the baby's cryin'
And it's just not fair
I can’t sleep when you’re not here
Everybody says you're a hero
Baby, you know you’ve always been mine
Least most of the time
When you come home, let's go to Carolina
Get lost a beach where they'll never find us
We'll run into the Carolina sun
Goodnight angel
If you were here, we’d put 'Into The Mystic' on the stereo
And we would just disappear
But the flags are flyin' and the baby's cryin'
And it's just not fair
I can't sleep when you're not here
I can't sleep, so I hold my breath
Remember your voice 'til I feel it in my chest
Then it makes a circle around my heart
Holding in these tears and they can't get out
Goodnight angel
If you were here, we'd put 'Into The Mystic' on the stereo
And we would just disappear
Are you lying awake just like me, baby?
Somewhere out there
I can't sleep when you're not here
