I Should Be Sleeping Lyrics

I Should Be Sleeping: Emerson Drive.
Written by Lisa Drew and Shave Smith.

I never knew there were such great movies,
On TV at 3 a.m.
I'd never guessed at a midnight Tuesday,
I could have pizza ordered in.
I've never been a real night-owl,
But these days I'm all turned 'round.
There's only one thing I'm sure of right now:

I should be sleeping, 'stead of keeping,
These late hours I've been keeping.
I've been pacing and retracing,
Ev'ry step of ev'ry move.
An' even though I'm feeling so right,
I'm so happy, still I know:
I should be sleeping, 'stead of dreamin' about you.

I never knew that I was funny,
'Til I went and made you laugh.
I never liked a girl that called me: "Honey."
But you did. I liked that.
I keep thinking about your smile,
Tryin' to read between the lines,
Looks like I'll be here for a while.

When I should be sleeping, 'stead of keeping,
These late hours I've been keeping.
I've been pacing and retracing,
Ev'ry step of ev'ry move.
An' even though I'm feeling so right,
I'm so happy, still I know:
I should be sleeping, 'stead of dreamin' about you.

After just three days, (Just three days.)
One great kiss, (One great kiss.)
It's way too soon,
To be obsessin' like this.

I should be sleeping, 'stead of keeping,
These late hours I've been keeping.
I've been pacing and retracing,
Ev'ry step of ev'ry move.
An' even though I'm feeling so right,
I'm so happy, still I know:
I should be sleeping, 'stead of dreamin' about you.

Dreamin' about you.
I should be sleeping, dreamin' about you.
I'm dreamin' about you. Yeah.

To fade.

This song reminds me off my boyfriend. One night last week, I was up late watching tv, and my cell phone received a text message. It read, "I should be sleepin instead of dreamin about you." I was so touched I raced to find out why that phrase sounded so familier, and low and behold it was Emerson Drive!

After just three days One great kiss Its way too soon To be obsessin like this
