We wrote & recorded this song in Sam’s house in Los Angeles. I had the music on my laptop & he loved the harp sound. He said it reminded him of Rodney Jerkins (90s R n B producer). He’d had trouble sleeping that week & so he just wrote how he was feeling.
Sam also adjusted the chords in...
[Verse 1]
I've been thinking 'bout the good times
I've been sifting through the bad ones too
Like a picture hanging on the wall
You only see it how you want to
[Pre-Chorus]
But time is the hand that you hold onto, let go
Cause I could really use a good 78 hours or so
[Chorus]
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep, keep it together
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep you off my mind
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep, keep it together
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep you by my side
[Verse 2]
I can see it's on the base now
And the wind is blowing through your hair
And I wake up all alone now
All I wanna do is take you there
[Pre-Chorus]
But time is the hand that you hold onto, let go
Cause I could really use a good 78 hours or so
[Chorus]
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep, keep it together
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep you off my mind
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep, keep it together
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep you by my side
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep, keep it together
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep you off my mind
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep, keep it together
I've been losing sleep
But I've been trying to keep you by my side
[Outro]
I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Off my mind
