Woke up dead in the morning

Head was pounding from the night before

Went and called for my lover

But you left me, yeah you wanted more

Took the bus to the station

Caught the local to my dead-end job

Steady wasting my sunlight

In the doldrums while my time gets robbed

I’ll tell you where your fire’s gone, I know

It takes me when I’m sitting here alone

And all the times it takes for me to see

Exactly where you wanted me to be

Make my bed in the morning

Getting older, what’s the hurry for?

Fix my gaze on the good things

And the life that I’m working towards

And you say “Keep your head on your shoulders”

“Don’t give up yet on the dreams you had”

“Do you think you’re alone now?”

“Suck it up, boy, cause it ain’t so bad”

I’m sick of staring at the floor till you say something

Breaking my back just to try and get by

Laughing at me just so you can get even (even)

Even with me

I’ll tell you where your fire’s gone, I know

It takes me when I’m sitting here alone

And all the times it takes for me to see

Exactly where you wanted me to be
