If Only I Could Sleep is a sombre hymn about sleepless nights spent in the lonely prison cell of unrequited love. A soundtrack for dead end drives through neon-lit cities, where lonely surf-guitars echo across dark and brooding synth landscapes.

lyrics

If only I could sleep
I wouldn’t try to call you up
In the middle of the night
Sometimes I lose it
If only I could fall
In love with someone I could see
In the fiction of a dream
I wouldn’t worry where you are

If only I could sleep
If only I could close my eyes
But even in the night
Sleep will never come to me again
Wherever I must go
To get myself away from you
No matter where it is
That’s where I am going to

Lights out in the dark
There must be someone somewhere
I know I’m not the only one
Who won’t be sleeping
Somewhere in the night
We’re waiting for at voice out there
A voice that calls our names
Calling on the radio

If only I could sleep
If only I could close my eyes
But even in the night
Sleep will never come to me again
Wherever I must go
To get myself away from you
No matter where it is
That’s where I am going to
