Set to the soundtrack of cotton and down Tucked into town like lilacs In a tent In my room With you Held in blue like so much bundled carbon All my plans for stardom fell through So why wake up today? If you weren't here No one would like the sounds that I make If you weren't here I don't think I could relate to the awake Why wake up today if my today has gone away? Why wake up today if my today has gone away? Why wake up today if you're not here? If you're not here? Why wake up today, if my today has gone away?
