I Couldn't Sleep - Au Revoir Simone

I couldn’t sleep

Didn’t want comforting

Just company to sleep

And then in dreams we meet

And stay asleep

I awoke feeling restless

Didn’t know quite where I was

Though I felt far away and cold

It was so late but my mind was curious

It was quiet, snowing with frosted windows

I had a book but wasn’t reading just watching you

Didn’t want comforting

Just company, oh be sweet

It could go either way

Based on what they say

I didn’t wish to be somewhere else

Your face was comforting to me

I don’t remember you smiling

But just the same

I didn’t know you

You didn’t know what to make of me

It was peaceful that night

A kind of friendship all too serious
