Melatonin from Four Walls by Lauren Manning

You’ve been trying to sleep for years
Some of us understand,
but it feels like no one cares
And your body’s wearing thin
from the places in your mind
that you have been
And though your eyes close,
your thoughts are racing

Looks like you could use some melatonin
Looks like you could do with someone to hold you through the night
I could do that for you,
The world is cold and things are broken
But if it works out,
you will see that your heart is golden

The days are long and the nights are longer,
I heard they say-
What doesn’t kill you makes your stronger
But I’m not sure this weight you’re carrying could give you more
If anything it’ll drag you down a whole lot further

Looks like you could use some melatonin
Looks like you could do with someone to hold you through the night
I could do that for you
The world is cold and things are broken
but if it works out,
You will see, you will see your dreams
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams

And it all looked alright
but then we woke up
Let’s turn back the hands of time
so we can grow up
into who we’d love to be,
it’s a pity we can’t see
Maybe we’ll see it in our dreams,
If only you could go back to sleep

Looks like you could use some melatonin
Looks like you could do with someone to hold you through the night
I could do that for you,
the world is cold and things are broken
But if it works out,
You will see that your heart is golden

Looks like you could use some melatonin
Looks like you could do with someone to hold you through the night
I could do that for you,
The world is cold and things are broken
But if it works out,
You will see, you will see your dreams
Dreams, dreams, dreams
Dreams, dreams, dreams
