If I Don't Write This Song, Someone I love Will Die

I check my bed for bugs and spiders

Though I don't really think they're there

I check my head, it's getting tighter

I want to stop, but I don't dare

I will not sleep until I've counted to 200 three times

I will not sleep until my pencils lie in a straight line



Good night, goodbye

It's late and I'm too tired to cry

Good night, goodbye

Just let me close my weary eyes



I pray to God twice in the evenings

And check the stove four times each day

I spin around the door to make sure that it's locked

And wear these lucky socks until they fade away

The house might burn down, and it's all my fault if that puddle doesn't get me wet

If I get home before the rain you're mine, but I won't bet



Good night, goodbye

It's late and I'm too tired to cry

Good night, goodbye

Just let me close my weary eyes



One day I'll be stepping

On cracks and close my eyes

But I'm too tired to argue with myself

I'll just do this one more time



Good night, goodbye

It's late and I'm too tired to cry

Good night, goodbye

Just let me close my weary eyes
