I'd Kill To Fall Asleep Lyrics
eyes open, i'm wide awake
i feel i'm in a coma state
i lay here on my back
and watch the fan turn
conversations cross my mind
but nothing of the speaking kind
tv images repeat their one lines
back and forth
i toss and turn, it feels like
strings are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'd kill to fall asleep
bringing up a losing fight
i'll never see this end tonight
the thought of just one dream
it consumes me
numbers on the clock turn back
my pills are having no effect
the beating of my heart
keeps the time going
back and forth
i toss and turn, it feels like
strings are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'd kill to fall asleep
they say that when you sleep
your body's at rest
i wouldn't know what sleep felt like
if i tried my best
if polaroids and memories can fade away
so can i
back and forth
i toss and turn, it feels like
strings are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'd kill to fall asleep
i feel i'm in a coma state
i lay here on my back
and watch the fan turn
conversations cross my mind
but nothing of the speaking kind
tv images repeat their one lines
i toss and turn, it feels like
strings are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'll never see this end tonight
the thought of just one dream
it consumes me
numbers on the clock turn back
my pills are having no effect
the beating of my heart
keeps the time going
i toss and turn, it feels like
strings are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'd kill to fall asleep
your body's at rest
i wouldn't know what sleep felt like
if i tried my best
if polaroids and memories can fade away
so can i
i toss and turn, it feels like
strings are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep
i'd kill to fall asleep

i had massive insomnia for a while and it really sucks so i understnd what the songs about i don't thinkthere is really much to it but it just seems like ther is so much going through your head your day just winds up playong out in your mind and its impossible to find sleep
insomnia blows majorly..trust me i speak from experience.when i heard this song i was just like oh dear god its my life story! i just bought catalyst a few days ago(slow,i know) and this is one of my faves
definitely sounds nothing like the typed lyrics.
i hear "tv images" not "tiki images" and it sounds like "back and forth, i toss and turn, and it feels like, strings are holding up my eyes", not what you have.
haha, that person is definitely right. how the hell did someone get "tiki images"? anyway, i love this song.
i dont think new found glory would write about such a topic, but this reminds me of being addicted to cocaine. and man oh man would one kill to fall asleep on that shit.
sum1 correct this shit haha.. worst song on the cd i think ... but its a good song so it shows u how great of a cd catalyst is!

On The Leak, MTV have this song as being called 'I'd Kill To Fall Asleep'...?
This song is awesome, I think everyones gone through somethings like this at some point. trying to sleep but just can't.
the 'back and forth, i toss and turn.it feels like.... strings are holding up my eeeeyyeesss...' sounds so good.
A totally different topic for NFG and the lyrics capture the emotion of not being able to fall asleep perfectly, the frustration (fast parts), the submission (the slow parts). .... how can you think this is the worst song on the album? Jordan prolonged scream at the end of the song sounds cool too... should do it more often :P
I have mixed feelings about this song, I find myself skipping this one a lot for some reason. I think the main thing I have against it is like this whole song could be like a verse to another song, cause it's just talking about sleep, but it doesn't explain anything about why he can't fall asleep or what he's thinking. Like Jordan, can you not sleep because of a girl, or did you just drink too many mt. dews or what, give us so insight if you're gonna write a song about it. It's just kind of a dull song, it's ok, but not even close to the best on the cd.
