about

Back To Sleep is a medium-tempo track written by Nolan Compton and was produced by ECMA Producer Of The Year nominee Jon Matthews. This song also includes some of Canada's top-tier and CCMA award-winning musicians: Jason Barry (guitar) and Ed "PeeWee Charles" Ringwald (steel guitar).

Back To Sleep captures the story of a couple's relationship that is beginning to fall apart. She is ready to move forward as he keeps holding on. He misses her touch and presence in the room they once shared and hopes she'll come walking through their bedroom door to end his restless nights alone.

This irresistible and catchy chorus will have you singing along as it pulls on your heartstrings.

lyrics

Wake up think about your lips
How did it come to this
Make my thoughts go numb
Got my heartbeat kicking
Kicking like a bass drum
Your eyes, they shine and haunt my mind

Imma toss I’ll be turning
I’ll be wide awake hurting
Ya, tired of all the games
Lying here sober
Just trying to get over
Thinking bout what's his name
Come back to me, to the way it use to be
So I can go back, I can go back to sleep, back to sleep

I wait for your touch
Cause I can’t get enough
I wonder where you are so I slide on over
Sliding like a steel guitar
For you what I’d do, well until you ask me too

Imma toss I’ll be turning
I’ll be wide awake hurting
Ya, tired of all the games
Lying here sober
Just trying to get over
Thinking bout what's his name
Come back to me, to the way it use to be
So I can go back, I can go back to sleep, back to sleep

I’ll letcha steal my covers
I’ll letcha put me under
Your spell, can't cha tell, I ain't doing well.....


Imma toss I’ll be turning
I’ll be wide awake hurting
Ya, tired of all the games
Lying here sober
Just trying to get over
Thinking bout what's his name
Come back to me, to the way it use to be
So I can go back, I can go back to sleep, back to sleep


Wake up think about your lips
And how did it come to this
