snooze//

you just hit the snooze for the thirteenth time/
it’s a little to late to almost be on time/
you get in your car and you start to drive/
but as usual there’s construction on 695/
you wish that seventh coffee hadn’t been the top/
cause it’s too short of a trip to make a pit stop/
everybody’s rushing getting nowhere fast/
cause this traffic jam is sure to last all day/

you learn everything that you’re gonna need/
but you’re not quite sure what you wanna be/
asking questions so that you can get out/
of what you don’t wanna do right here right now/
you got too much time with nothing to do/
got so much going on without a second to lose/
do it now and get it out of the way/
or just put it off for another day//

hey little girl/
you’re taking over the rest of the world/
hey pretty girl/
you walk by and get my attention/
little girl you can’t always count on me/
but i’ll always be right here//

work sucks cause you’re working now/
but this is your last shift/
you’ve got one more hour/
go home and you fall in bed/
dream of the life you wanna live/
life seems to be slipping by/
but you’ve got no chance to stop and figure why/
how long can you keep going on/
how long must i keep singing this song//

looking for answers but you can’t see/
if you had the courage to do what you dream/
there’s no one to follow/
but i don’t wanna live my life wondering if i could have survived/

life seems to go awfully fast/
when you’re looking around trying to find/
the last thing that you missed while you were sleeping away/
keep confusing the night for the day/
so c’mon get up let’s go my friend/
there’s still time to start over again/
life is short and you’re missing out/
forget everything you’ve been worrying about//

little girl little girl won’t you let me stay right here/
little girl little girl can’t you see it’s all so clear/
little girl little girl won’t you let me stay right here//
