Story Behind The Song
About the thoughts we have during insomnia.
Song Description
I have often suffered from insomnia. Why is it that time of the morning/dead of night specifically we tend to have negative thoughts? This song explores those thoughts and life in general. How we often use that time to reflect on our past mistakes and the things we are worrying about in our daily lives.

Lyrics
THOSE THINGS
Copyright 2017 Georgie Cooper
VERSE
When I look back on my life at what I did
All crazy, all true
I have to ask myself why I did certain things
It's like a reckoning
PRECHORUS
The thoughts that get stuck inside my head
When I'm laying in my bed
Scare me to death
CHORUS
Those things that keep me up at night
Those things that occupy my mind
Those things that keep me from moving on and on
VERSE 2
When I look at myself in the mirror
and ask who are you?
I have to answer to myself honestly
I have to live with me
PRECHORUS
Coz I carry so much guilt and blame
I've never really been the same
It makes me question am I sane
CHORUS
Those things that keep me up at night
Those things that occupy my mind
Those things that keep me from moving on and on
Those things that fester round and round
That ruminate and bring me down
Those same things that hold me back from growing strong
BRIDGE
Awake until the morning
Things always seem worse in the night
I would like some sleep now
I hope time will show that I can let go
CHORUS
Those things that keep me up at night
Those things that occupy my mind
Those things that keep me from moving on and on
Those things that fester round and round
That ruminate and bring me down
Those same things that hold me back from growing strong
