lyrics

Wonder how long I been asleep
Missing all these moments I can't keep
Clock keeps moving on and the day is almost gone
The world is spinning all around me

Tomorrow is about to be today
Yellow sky replacing all the gray
Accept what's clear and true embrace what's fresh and new
And a bunch of new mistakes to make

Stay hungry stay foolish
Stay within this twenty four
Blaze a trail right up the mountain
Bare feet on the forest floor

Sunrise spills across the treetops
Instant coffee fills my cup
Let the morning air surround me
As I'm slowly waking up

3am beneath my sleepy toes
Waking up my eyes and ears and nose
Horizon of today always looks so far away
Somehow still so close
