Counting Sheep

She don't know what she does when she does it
And she don't know what it means, but she means it man
And I watch as her wheels spin in motion
And I'm filled with familiar emotions

Her heart is what everyone is after
She possesses the wisdom of laughter
I'm the burden she feels when she's counting sheep
Becomes something real when she's fast asleep

Hey, won't you stay?
I don't wanna be the one that you're running from
Hey, won't you stay?
Were you ever everything to anyone?
And hey, won't you stay?
I don't wanna be the one that you're running from
Hey, won't you stay?

She says not to worry as she's out the door
In her absence I find I'm wanting more
Now this longing only helps the songs I've sung
And there's no one to blame when the jury's hung

I see her in social situations
Ignoring the investigation
But the choices she's made seem to plague her sleep
Rewind isn't kind when you're counting sheep

Hey, won't you stay?
I don't wanna be the one that you're running from
Hey, won't you stay?
Were you ever everything to anyone?
And hey, won't you stay?
I don't wanna be the one that you're running from
Hey, won't you stay?
