Version 2
Verse 1:
The moon is rising, stars fill the sky,
But here I am just waiting, watching time pass by,
The bed is warm, but I’m stuck in my head,
Thoughts keep running circles, wishing I was sleeping instead.
Pre-Chorus:
I see the chat light up, one by one they go,
But there’s always that one who’s moving too slow,
I close my eyes, try to drift away,
But the longer I lie here, the more I feel awake.
Chorus:
Waiting for sleep, waiting for peace,
Counting down the minutes ‘til this waiting will cease,
One more to go, can’t you see?
We’re all just waiting for sleep.
Waiting for sleep.
Waiting.
Verse 2:
In the real world, it’s much the same,
Staring at the ceiling, thoughts like a runaway train,
Eyes are heavy, but my mind won’t rest,
Dreams are out of reach, feeling like I’m stuck in a quest.
Pre-Chorus:
And in the game, the time drags on,
Seconds feel like hours, where has everyone gone?
Just need that last one to lie down and close their eyes,
So we can wake up to a bright, new sunrise.
Chorus:
Bridge:
It’s a waiting game, both here and there,
Wishing for the silence, hoping someone will care,
To finally settle down, to finally close their eyes,
To drift away together under pixelated skies.
Chorus:
Outro:
The night is long, but the morning’s near,
Soon we’ll find the daylight, soon it will be clear,
But until then, in this restless keep,
We’re all just waiting… waiting for sleep.
