Rapid Eye Movement Lyrics
Give me one more quiet night
‘fore this loud morning gets it right
And does me in
Does this story have an ending
Cause I'm needing to escape
And kill the blinding lights of day
To try again
Close my eyes and start descending
Cause I, I can't seem to find
A way back inside every last thought of love we made
That still keeps me awake
Still keeps me from everything we had
That I'm trying to get back, trying to get back
We keep floating towards the floor
Stuck in this pattern evermore
Of sink or swim
But the oxygen is proving
More than words could ever say
To put these memories away
So this is it
These rapid eyes will keep on moving
Give me one more quiet night
‘fore this loud morning gets it right
And does me in
Is this story worth forgetting
‘fore this loud morning gets it right
And does me in
Does this story have an ending
Cause I'm needing to escape
And kill the blinding lights of day
To try again
Close my eyes and start descending
A way back inside every last thought of love we made
That still keeps me awake
Still keeps me from everything we had
That I'm trying to get back, trying to get back
Stuck in this pattern evermore
Of sink or swim
But the oxygen is proving
More than words could ever say
To put these memories away
So this is it
These rapid eyes will keep on moving
‘fore this loud morning gets it right
And does me in
Is this story worth forgetting

This is my favorite David Cook song. The lyrics are beautiful and convey the feelings of despair we all have at times but also the fact that he is fighting these feelings. I love the imagery in the lyrics. Wonderful song.
I think this song is about waking up from being asleep but sleep was a refuge from the world for whatever reason and the narrator is "trying to get back" to his refuge of sleep.
I wonder if this will post.
