[Intro]

1... 2... 3... 4...


[Verse 1]

I wake up at 6:45

Once again I am alive

The bags under my eyes will only grow deeper from here

But one way or another I will make it through this year

And the other three

I've got to start learning material

But I can't even eat my cereal

Because breakfast is honestly the worst meal on this earth

And I have got no appetite after feasting on mirth

I'm feeling otherly


[Chorus]

Well, the ninth year of the saga will begin in just a few

And I've sacrificed my sleep for all the things I know are true

When I speak up I know that all of my answers will be wrong

'Cause the nights are short, but the days are long

Yeah, the nights are short, but the days are long


[Verse 2]

I'll soon see my friends once again

We boys are changing into men

Maybe we've finally grown up enough to get along

But I am a little uncertain of that, hence this song

I wonder, why am I so dumb

Why did I choose this for myself

Why did my body choose me

I've asked myself these questions for many a lonely year

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to disappear

Why can't I just be numb


[Piano Solo]


[Verse 3]

I wake up at 6:45

Once again I am alive

The bags under my eyes will only grow deeper from here

But one way or another I will make it through this year


[Chorus]

Well, the ninth year of the saga will begin in just a few

And I've sacrificed my sleep for all the things I know are true

When I speak up I know that all of my answers will be wrong

'Cause the nights are short, but the days are long

Yeah, the nights are short, but the days are long


[Outro]

Yes, the nights are short, but the days are long
