Woke up, I thought the morning light 
would be the first thing that I felt.
Next to you, you said as honestly as you could, 
"Oh, what you ought to do with life

always standing on the threshold of a dawn.

Now we're crawling out to only wish we were at home.
The sirens are ringing. If only we were young.

But with a breeze it tickled you, it was terrible to see,
but I couldn't see any other way.

But I wouldn't let it, so I lost the swing of love,
I was standing on the edge, it was midnight.

All in the eve, I was winking at the Attica.
And it wanted to know was beside you
