This alarm clock, it chains me to the sunrise
So let me wipe the sleep from my eyes
Help me find a better view
Are you still sleeping
On your blankets thick with disguise
Will you wake up with a surprise
'Cause I ain't lying next to you
But it doesn't matter 'cause real soon you're gonna see a side of me
Either way it sure ain't what you wanna see
But, baby, please what can we do?
CHORUS:
And you said,
"This mattress is a canvas,
So let's pour ourselves upon it
Paint a picture of our love."
But I'm tired
I ain't got no time for finger paint
And my patient stare is growing faint
We won't always stay this young
I said, "maybe you're right, but you'll never look old to me tonight."
Woke up this morning with your imprint on the bed sheet
You roll over to expect me
But it's clear that I am gone
You're so lonely 'cause you waited on your own for me
No, what a bother this can all be
But I'll never seem so wrong
But it doesn't matter 'cause real soon you're gonna see a side of me
After every day what do you think we'll be,
We've been holding on for far too long
