lyrics

I woke up in the morning, it’s a quarter to eight.
By the time I get going I’m already late.
It takes a few minutes to get out of the house
and the sun’s already up when I look around.

I think: Too often things just don’t get done
We’re in such a hurry to get somewhere that the thought never comes
to just slow down, take your time,
take a breath before you run into your old routine tonight.

I passed a man out on the street
trying to catch the bus for he’s got mouths to feed
From early morning when the sun don’t shine
to late at night when you just can’t open up your eyes
Five days, take a break for two.
New things just never happen, what am I supposed to do?

Too often things just don’t get done
We’re in such a hurry to get somewhere that the thought never comes
to just slow down, take your time,
take a breath before you run into your old routine tonight.

I’m back, 10pm, to-do list still untouched
it’s hard enough to do my needs, for the things that I want done
Set the alarm for a time too early to wake up
It’s no surprise when the dreams just never come.
