Instead of Sleeping tracked this song live at Mr. Small's Studio with the help of Tim Evans.

lyrics

I've been writing you songs
Since I can't call your phone
They're piling up in your mailbox
While you pretend you're not home
I wrote down every word
I thought through every implication
My hand is in control now
My heart is on vacation

What do you keep
In those bags beneath your eyes
Are they just your overnight bags
For when you sleep with other guys
I wrote down every word
I thought through every implication
My tongue is in control now
My conscience on vacation

I'm taking the low road
That is for sure
I feel so damn relieved but
Mostly immature
But a song dedication means
I might actually care
But let's be clear this song took two chords
And I had twenty minutes to spare.
