[Verse 1]

Woke up this mornin' at 11:11

Wasn't in Portland and I wasn't in heaven

Could have been either by the way I was feelin'

But I was alive

I was alive

[Verse 2]

Woke up this mornin' at 11:11

John was half-naked and Lulu was cryin'

Over a baby that will never go crazy

But I was alive

[Chorus]

And kickin' through this cruel world

Holdin' a notion of you at 11:11

Tell me what else can I do

What else can I do?

[Verse 3]

Woke up this mornin' and somethin' was burnin'

Realized that everythin' really does happen in Manhattan

Thoughts were of characters and afternoons lyin'

And you

You were alive

[Chorus]

Oh the hours we are separate

11:11 is just precious time we've wasted

So patch up your bleedin' hearts

And put away your posies

I'm gonna have a drink

Before we ring around the rosies with you

[Outro]

Oh the hours we are separate

Oh the hours we are separate

11:11
