...and counting...

it's nearing two o'clock
and i wonder what i got
i ought to be in bed
but i don't get up til night

it's easy to cook up fear
but there's nothing to be scared of here

i'm just fooling myself
thinking they'd pass the time
trying to suck the life
out of my eyes
even ghosts have something more pressing to do
there's nothing that i got
except for you

what makes me scared
could be compared
to that unsettling feeling
that something was left on
and that the house is burning down
but usually this is just a false alarm
there's rarely ever any real harm
just the damage brought on
by worrying too much

if i would just do my chores
and get to bed
then perhaps i could rest my head
but getting from here to there
is harder than you've said
