lyrics

Oh, imagination is a double-edged sword
Sometimes it can save you, you'll never be bored
Lonely train rides turn into:
Meeting the president
Getaways to the Netherlands
Chatting up that resident who lives on your floor

Making up scenarios
"That must be how the story goes!"
And you're always thinking of more
It's entertainment for hours.
And just like that, four hours have passed

But here's the real frustration with a runaway mind
You don't when to stop or when to leave it behind
Whatcha doing now? I wonder

If we were crustaceans floating out in the sea
I could be the Belle if my Sebastian you'd be
(Did you see what I did there?) And we'd sing
Punk rock-ish covers now
Can we call us lovers now?
No, those words aren't coming
I don't know what I'm feeling

Look at the dying leaves
Would you mind telling me
When the sh*t decided to hit the ceiling
Fan/Phantom silence abounds
Oh all you wanted was some peace and quiet
Insomnia-a-a-a

If I could just forget-forget-forget
And let myself not think, no thinking allowed
But how could I possibly forget
The way your hand pulled me through that crowd?

Oh my memory
It fails me in all the wrong situations
I remember the way you breathed
But I can't recall if I picked oatmeal raisin

Insomnia-a-a-a-a at Insomnia
Insonmni-a-a-a-a at Insomnia.

Oh my memory
It fails me in all the wrong situations
I remember the way you breathed
But I can't recall if I picked oatmeal raisin

Insomnia-a-a-a-a at Insomnia
Insomnia-a-a-a-a at Insomnia.
