6:45
[Intro]
1... 2... 3... 4...
[Verse 1]
I wake up at 6:45
Once again I am alive
The bags under my eyes will only grow deeper from here
But one way or another I will make it through this year
And the other three
I've got to start learning material
But I can't even eat my cereal
Because breakfast is honestly the worst meal on this earth
And I have got no appetite after feasting on mirth
I'm feeling otherly
[Chorus]
Well, the ninth year of the saga will begin in just a few
And I've sacrificed my sleep for all the things I know are true
When I speak up I know that all of my answers will be wrong
'Cause the nights are short, but the days are long
Yeah, the nights are short, but the days are long
[Verse 2]
I'll soon see my friends once again
We boys are changing into men
Maybe we've finally grown up enough to get along
But I am a little uncertain of that, hence this song
I wonder, why am I so dumb
Why did I choose this for myself
Why did my body choose me
I've asked myself these questions for many a lonely year
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to disappear
Why can't I just be numb
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
I wake up at 6:45
Once again I am alive
The bags under my eyes will only grow deeper from here
But one way or another I will make it through this year
[Chorus]
Well, the ninth year of the saga will begin in just a few
And I've sacrificed my sleep for all the things I know are true
When I speak up I know that all of my answers will be wrong
'Cause the nights are short, but the days are long
Yeah, the nights are short, but the days are long
[Outro]
Yes, the nights are short, but the days are long
