[Intro]

Forgot what I was gonna say

Ohhhh...


[Refrain]

I'm half past hoping

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn


[Verse 1]

I'm half-past hoping, now it's time for action

I can't expect for things to work in my favor

If I do nothing. I’ve got to move

I’ve gotta run ‘cause there won’t be a savior

Coming to do it for me. The stars like to ignore me

So I no longer trust them, but I trust the cavers

I believe they’ll help me if I give them a try

I’ll lend them my hands and hope they’ll stop being my haters


[Verse 2]

A simmer starts to linger over the pond

It’d boil my skin off if I were to fall

There’s only a vine as the passage across

But it’s too light to hold me, I continue to stall

‘Cause I’ve got no raft, and I can’t stand the heat

I’d tough it out, but the lake is too deep

I won’t have the water scalding my feet

And everything above it, obviously


[Verse 3]

Now is the time where I make my alliance

If I don’t do it now, I’ll forever be stuck on this side

Of the ocean-sized lake that shows me my likeness

I can’t live my life on this end of the tide

But I also cannot build myself a boat to sail away

I cannot bring myself to ask for help from a creature

They know what I’ve done wrong, if it matters; either way

I’ve got to swallow the lump in my throat and say “I need you


[Verse 4]

“I need assistance getting back above this beautiful limestone

“Out of this pitiful milestone I’m stuck in at present

“I need one of your rafts, I’ll pay you back shortly

“And then if you want, I can be in evanescence

“You don’t need to know me, as don’t I for you

“At least let me confirm I really like your habitat

“I just miss my home, I want to go back

“I’m ninety-nine percent sure that’s where I should be at.”


[Outro]

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn

Wake up at the crack of dawn-dawn
