John Newhall - Asleep by 9 Lyrics

Started falling asleep at nine
Thought maybe if I slept away the time
The faster things would move, the sooner I can look at you
With eager eyes I started falling asleep at nine

Started driving past your road
Even when I know you aren't home
It's not the fastest route, but it makes me think of you
I always smile when I'm driving past your road

Ooo, You know that you will always be
A part of me, yeah yeah
You are the reason I am losing sleep
That's why for me

Stopped talking to your family
Ever since you called it all off
I don't return their calls, trying still to stomach it all
Tell them I'm well and give your family my regards

I started talking to your friends
They tell me not to bother you again
But it's hard not to impose, when you left things so unclosed
It fills a void when I'm talking to your friends

Ooo, You know that you will always be
A part of me, yeah yeah
You are the reason I am losing sleep
That's why for me
You, You promised that we'd keep in touch
I'd hope that much
You, You know it'll crush me when you leave
When you leave

Does it even hurt for you

Started falling asleep at nine
Though maybe if I slept away the time
I couldn't sit and sigh, about a girl I once called mine
I fell asleep at nine to sleep away the nights
