Another Sleepless Night

It's midnight in the mountains
And darkness fills the streets
Most people here are sleeping
But we're still on our feet
Maddie's up and crying
Her screams fill up the night
We're trying to appease her
She won't go without a fight

Try though we might
The dawn is quickly comin'
Try though we might
It's another sleepless night

I'd sing you a lullaby,
Stand upon my head,
Streak down the highway naked
If you'd let me go to bed
Sleep deprivation's torture
It's driving me insane
I'm starting to hallucinate
When I hear you complain

Try though we might
The dawn is quickly comin'
Try though we might
It's another sleepless night

Oh honey, please have mercy
On our poor and tired eyes
Your parent's need a breather
But sleep has been denied

Try though we might
The dawn is quickly comin'
Try though we might
It's another sleepless night

It's midnight in the mountains
And darkness fills the streets
Most people here are sleeping
But we're still on our feet
Maddie's up and crying
Her screams fill up the night
We're trying to appease her
She won't go without a fight

Try though we might
The dawn is quickly comin'
Try though we might
It's another sleepless night
