.:Another Sleepless Night:.

I probably have the most to say about this song than any other I've written, as I consider it my epic :P

As suggested in the title, this song was conceived over the course of three or four consecutive nights in December 2003 that I flirted with insomnia. When you can't find dreams of the subconscious kind, you find them in your thoughts and ambitions. Simply put, this is a song about chasing dreams.

For a very in depth analysis of Another Sleepless Night, go here. I suggest you take a look - the only reason I didn't put it on this page was that I didn't want to interrupt the actual body of text.

another sleepless night
another fearless night
another night that i've spent thinking that life is nothing but timing and perception
that living's just a memory and im too late
so baby let me close my eyes
let me have one last look at these shining skies as if i'll see tomorrow and i'll decide
there's nothing like the stars that i see tonight
and they've never been like this in any year gone by
yeah baby let me close my eyes

so i'll spend another minute, another hour
alone with my big dreams
i've spent my whole life this way somehow
alone with my big dreams

another inspired night
another tearless night
another night that i am feeling like i've wasted myself in all my dreaming
that the stars burned these holes in my eyes for a reason
so baby take away my sight
don't let me see that all these lonely nights and heartfelt tears weren't worth the fight
there's nothing like the taste of bloody tears tonight
and they've never burned my skin or made me blind
yeah baby take away my sight

and all that's left for me is dead now
and it died
because of me
so i'll spend another minute, another hour
alone with my big dreams
i've spent my whole life this way somehow
alone with my big dreams

open my eyes and see the sun, see the light
open my eyes to the stars, and the night
cause for the first time in my lonely life
i don't wanna close my eyes
baby don't let me turn away from that sky
i wanna look at you forever
forever in my big dreams

in my big dreams
i want to look at you forever
forever in my big dreams

i have these dreams in them home is where you are
where we take moon lit walks on sundays and laugh by the shore
about the memories i have when i always wanted more
and you sleep by the water while i look up at the stars
and try to find one deep within my heart
that i could pull down for you

and all i ever wanted was some hope to hold onto
and for you to sing along to
me and my big dreams

but i've spent my whole life this way somehow
with all these minutes and all these hours
and for what

this is because i can dream and not make dreams my aim
it's to the world that will sing along and never know my name
it's to third eye blind and those nights in my car
where summer died on the water underneath the stars
it's to konstantine and all my sleepless nights
in my room with by big dreams
yeah its to konstantine and every sleepness night
when i ran out of room to live

this is to the summer that you opened up my eyes
and as blind as i was from the bright city lights
you breathed new life into me and i could see the sky
and for the first time in my lonely life
it was hardly out of reach

and all i ever wanted was for you to sing along
with me and my big dreams

this is to the summer that you opened up my eyes
you opened up my eyes
yeah you opened my eyes to the sun, to the light
to the stars and the night
cause for the first time in my lonely life
i don't wanna close my eyes
yeah you opened my eyes to the sun, to the light
opened my eyes to the stars, and the night
cause for the first time in my lonely life
i don't wanna close my eyes
i wanna look at you forever
with me in my big dreams

but i've spent my whole life this way somehow
with all these minutes and all these hours
and for what

this time i know i'll find out

another peaceful night
another fearless night
another night that i've spent thinking that life is nothing but movement
and direction
and all my life i've been moving to love
so baby let me close my eyes
let me have one last look at these shining skies as if i'll see tomorrow
and i'll decide
there's nothing like the stars that i see tonight
and they've never been like this in any year gone by
yeah baby let me close my eyes
cause with you they burn brighter yeah
with you they burn brighter than i've ever seen

so i'll spend another minute, another hour
with you and our big dreams
i'll spend my whole life this way somehow
with you and our big dreams

and then you open my eyes to the sun and see the light
is it so hard to believe that the stars and the night -
they're like nothing i've ever seen before
and this time i won't close my eyes
baby i'll never turn away from that sky
i wanna look at you forever
forever in my big dreams

and all i ever wanted was for you to sing along
and god you have a beautiful voice
