lyrics
Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Why Won't My Brain Stop":
When I turn out the light
When my body's had enough
I wait for the dark to close in
When will my thoughts shut up
Oh they'll be here soon
These fraught intruders
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
There's no high, there's no drug
To turn the volume down
And I'm not asking for much
I need a couple of hours
I can only dream of dreams
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
The moment I drift away
Is the moment I recall
What I screwed up today
Why won't
Why won't
Why won't
Why Won't
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't
Why won't
(Why won't)
When I turn out the light
(Why won't)
When my body's (why won't) had enough
(Why won't)
When I turn out the light
When my body's had enough
I wait for the dark to close in
When will my thoughts shut up
Oh they'll be here soon
These fraught intruders
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
There's no high, there's no drug
To turn the volume down
And I'm not asking for much
I need a couple of hours
I can only dream of dreams
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
The moment I drift away
Is the moment I recall
What I screwed up today
Why won't
Why won't
Why won't
Why Won't
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't
Why won't
(Why won't)
When I turn out the light
(Why won't)
When my body's (why won't) had enough
(Why won't)

about
Big Little Lions Royston, British Columbia
Big Little Lions is the ferocious songwriting duo of Helen Austin and Paul Otten.
“The duo's sound
mixes the new school folk of Mumford and Sons with a dance rhythm that keeps the music sounding light and upbeat. It also doesn't hurt that their songs are very catchy and aided by how well Austin and Otten's voices complement each other.” - Examiner.com
