Silver like a fish slappin' on my tongue 
Speak to me the way you do 
Hide me all summer in your arms 
Hold me the way I like you to 
You fill my cup 'till it's crackin' up 
The button that says alarm 
says me I'm not supposed to 
be like a champ that's going down 
Fighting to get close to you 
Everybody gets up, excited by love 
The sight of the ring, the sight of the blood 

I can't sleep without you
I can't sleep without you
I can't sleep without you
I can't sleep without you

Referee's in black and he's in shock 
The judge is hammering for some solid proof 
My heart keeps racing like a clock, yeah 
I can't sleep without you 
It's like a time bomb, ready to go off 
in my head and in my heart 
The lights keep fading in the dark 
Just like a nightmare that's comin' true 
I can't sleep without you 
I'm crazy in the city, it just ain't fair 
You send me to my corner, and you're never there 

I can't sleep without you 
I can't ........
