Song lyrics

I live my life so easy

I like my love straight down the line

High, big or low-key, that's you and me

We faced our fear all in one night


Digging for gold just to make ends meet

I would never lie but you lied when I couldn't see

Oh it's like you just pulled the love from right under me

Laughing uncontrollably, tell me what to do with myself


Ain't it funny how your love can change

But the joke is on me this time

Ain't it funny how I thought you'd stay

But the joke is on me this time


Someone tell me how to sleep

Someone tell me how to sleep


I won't get equal and in my way

I come back to haunt you or you'll be okay

You'll be married in love, though

I'll be drunk and so messed up

Thinking about us, laughing about us, getting old and grey


Digging for gold just to make ends meet

I would never lie but you lied when I couldn't see

Oh it's like you just pulled the love from right under me

Laughing uncontrollably, tell me what to do with myself


Ain't it funny how your love can change

But the joke is on me this time

Ain't it funny how I thought you'd stay

But the joke is on me this time


Someone tell me how to sleep

Someone tell me how to sleep

Someone tell me how to sleep

But the joke is on me this time


Can't build the house with a heart of stone

I thought I was doing what I do just to buy a home

Oh I'm now shocked, I'm ashamed, don't know where to go

Crying uncontrollably, tell me how you live with yourself


Ain't it funny how your love can change

But the joke is on me this time

Ain't it funny how I thought you'd stay

But the joke is on me this time


Someone tell me how to sleep

Someone tell me how to sleep

Someone tell me how to sleep

But the joke is on me this time
