lyrics

I wish mornings could last a little longer
For the minutes spent with you are worth more than any dollar
I'm caught between a dream and my lover
Always go to bed with cold feet, you warm me up instantly

I feel so old in these young bones
I've felt them break & mend & grow
This skeleton that holds me up
& a mind that weighs me down

In a constant state of caution, I
Keep myself locked up inside
Can't let this body out the door,
Can't put up a fight to save my life

I wish mornings could last a little longer
Get up to start the countdown from 9AM- 5
Cause every day I work is just
The worst day of my life

Every night I look for peace of mind
I want to will my feet to walk around on this earth to stand my ground
but the reality that haunts me is I work just to survive
And then when the day is done, the commute home could end my life

I'm in this for more than just the body heat
I need more than just someone to protect me
I'm not in this for the money, I'm not just here for the ride
I just want to have you by my side

I wish the nights could last a little longer
I don't have a dream job anymore
Don't want to walk out the door
Just wanna stay home with you for a while
