lyrics

Looks like another night spent out of my head,
I’m just staring at the ceiling.
Threw a couple back instead of sleeping,
Is it me, is the room spinning?

Can I turn it off? Don’t know where I am.
Hear my memory as it’s leaving.
You’re a little lost, it tends to happen.
When you’re searching for that feeling.

Looks like another day I’m staying in bed,
Never felt so unappealing.
You’re a little lost, it tends to happen.
Still just searching for that feeling.

I just need some sleep,
Been drunk every night this week.
Now I'm on my phone,
'Cause I just hate being alone.

So pour me another drink, 'cause I don’t feel right.
Can anybody relate, staying up all night?
Sleeping alone, always getting stoned.
Everyday is the same, you’re not okay,
Smile Anyway.

I just need some sleep,
'Cause I haven’t yet this week.
Just a blank face on my phone,
Don’t leave me alone.

So pour me another drink, 'cause I don’t feel right.
Can anybody relate, staying up all night?
Sleeping alone, always getting stoned.
Everyday is the same, you’re not okay,
Smile Anyway

about

Kids Losing Sleep Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia

Fresh but familiar, Kids Losing Sleep is an emotionally driven machine that draws clear reference to modern pop classics through a tried-and-true band dynamic.

Occasionally touching on their darker sides between big shiny choruses, the group wears their influences on their sleeves. With lyrics that read like poetry and pull from the somber side of life.

It's heartbreak you can dance to. ... more
