Let's go back to when we didn't know
And we could have cared less
What came first now comes last
And we settle for second best
Waking up is hard to do
When you've waited for the dawn
If I can't be what you want me to be
Don't leave the light on
I could tell you where I've been
But it would make you feel alone
We don't recall what we've given up
Until what we have feels wrong
Waking up is hard to do
When you've waited for the dawn
If I can't be what you want me to be
Don't leave the light on
Why do we only seem to care
When there's no one else around
I pull the shade where my bed's been made
But I don't what to lay down
Waking up is hard to do
When you've waited for the dawn
If I can't be what you want me to be
Don't leave the light on
