lyrics

Wake me up in the morning
Lay me down at night
Paint the sky with a warning
Then tell me it's alright

It's a sensitive occasion
A black tie party of the stars
But I misplaced my invitation
So I might not get too far

And I choose
And I lose
And I'm bruised

And I'm dying to let you know
It ain't always the straightest road
That'll take you where you need to go
So break off and take it slow

Stuck in the middle of a long running day dream
Waiting on that next commercial break
Take a pause now look out the window
Maybe take a stab at feeling safe

Bruised my heel on the sidewalk
Trying to turn on a dime
We were all headed to our next engagement
Not knowing that we're already out of time

And I choose
And I lose
And I'm bruised

And I'm dying to let you know
It ain't always the straightest road
That'll take you where you need to go
So break off and take it slow
