And how long will we last Before we go insane?

Artist- Rilo Kiley
Song of the day- We'll never sleep (God knows we'll try)

So I promise Jenny Lewis doesn't just write songs about not sleeping, but once agreed to pick up a 3am shift this song popped in my head. There's a beautiful somberness to it's anger about being awake at a ridiculous hour, and the guitar solo its one of my all time favorites, and for a girl who hates guitar solos, that's saying a lot. So as I attempt to fall asleep with the sun still up, enjoy some early Rilo Kiley on me.



Stealing away into the night
Won't get you any higher
We'll never sleep
God knows we'll try
The hospital is closed

And how long will it last
Before we go insane?

We circle your uncle's parking lot
Just to see how many
Times that we can before we get caught
You guessed on twenty

And how long will you stare
Before i look away?
I don't wanna go

Begged them to stay they're on holiday
Just close the door
You can watch final four
And just fall away

Sailing away just isn't right
Just because you're angry
If you go
I think i might
Lose it all together
And how long will we last
Before we go insane?
I don't wanna
