Lyrics
"I Don't Want To Wake Up" by Ed Englerth
The alarm is ringing
My time piece is buzzing
The little phone is ringing
The front desk is beeping
Snooze is the button
More sleeps the idea
Slap n' roll over
Wish I had another day
//: I don't want to wake up ://
hit the snooze again
I'm almost awake
Another 10 minutes or 20
And I might just make it
//: I don't want to wake up ://
My feet off the side of the bed
Down to the cold cold floor
Throw the covers every which way
I stumble into morning
//: I don't want to wake up ://
//: I don't want to wake up ://
//: I don't want to wake up ://
