Sleepless In Brandon

So it's about twenty after one in the morning and I am having a hard time sleeping. I mean, I can't fall asleep at all. This really sucks.

Here are the words to a song by Caedmon's Call. I feel like posting them because they have spoken to me in times past when I was in similar situations to what I am in right now.

Table For Two
Derek Webb

Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes
We talked about soccer and how every man’s just the same
We made speculation on the who’s and the when’s of our futures
And how everyone’s lonely but still we just couldn’t complain

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance?
And now I’m just wasting my time
Looking around

But you know I know better, I’m not gonna worry ‘bout nothing
‘Cause if the birds and the flowers survive then I’ll make it OK
And given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window
And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I’m so scared of being alone
That I forget which house I live in
And it’s not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

This day’s been crazy but everything’s happened on schedule
From the rain and the cold to the drink that I spilled on my shirt
‘Cause You know how You’d save me before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day long before You made me outta dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can’t plan the ends and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace just to get me to sleep
