The song Hard To Sleep is very similar to Camden in terms of themes.
Gracie is again in a vicious circle of overthinking and fears what may happen if she loses control over her life, at the same time she is starting to not recognize herself and her actions anymore, and the advices of the people...
[Verse 1]
I only thought it for a minute, but it got me down
The kind of feeling when you've got something to cry about
And all the talking turned to screaming that I couldn't help
This isn't me, me, me
I only thought it for a moment but it's crippling
I guess the gravity of going out is sinking in
What if I'm missing the capacity for all of it?
This isn't me, me, me
[Chorus]
And I'm so scared of losing all control
Don't you tell me it's better to let go
When the weight of the world feels so close
It's only me, me, me
[Verse 2]
Audrey told me that she thinks it might be in my head
How I'm overthinking everything I never said
How it's killing me a little to be different, oh
It isn't me, me, me
[Chorus]
But I'm so scared of losing all control
Don't you tell me it's better to let go
When the weight of the world feels so close
It's only me, me, me
[Bridge]
Hard to sleep, could it be
Only me? Only me
Hard to sleep, could it be
Only me? Only me
Hard to sleep, could it be
Only me? Only me
Hard to sleep, could it be
Only me? Only me
Mm-mm, mm-hmm
[Outro]
I'm so scared of losing control
When they tell me it's better to let go
When the weight of the world feels so close
It's only me, me, me
And I'm so scared of losing all control
When they tell me it's better to let go
When the weight of the world is so close
It's only me (Me), me (Me), me
It's only me, me, me
