[Intro]

[Verse 1]

You 'waken late. You haven't shaved.

Sleep still in your eyes,

You reach out for the time.

You hear the sound of cars pass by,

And you know we drank last night

At midnight.

Can this be alright?

[Verse 2]

And suddenly,

The memory of a dream you had last night,

It comes flooding back.

Love labors lost a touch you cost.

Can we still go on,

if nothing is left?

Ooooohhhhhh.

Finding out that life

Is not for me at all.

Throwing back the bedsheets

As she jumped into another day;

Plunging into ice cold water;

Racing life in every way.

"I am me and no one stops me.

When I'm down I punch right back!

Send on all of your dissapointments,

G C

Hit me with your heart attack, and find me!"

Am F

Find me!

[Verse 4]

"Finder's keepers, loser's weepers!"

Shouting out the things you feel.

"Don't give me your false politeness!"

Hearts are worn way up on your sleeve.
