lyrics

I had big plans
Going through my mind
I had time on my hands
My favorite kind

I had the whole night
It was 4:59
I had so many ideas
I poured a glass of wine

And maybe I would write a song
And maybe the world would sing along
Maybe I could finally right some wrongs

But I got drunk
And you know the rest
Midnight arrived
Like an unwanted guest
Woke me up
So I could go to bed
I went to kill the lights
But they were already dead

I picked up my guitar
Tried out a few chords
I didn't get very far
But I knew so many more

And the night was young
And outside there was a wind
If there's a song to be sung
Perhaps it lies in a sip of gin

And maybe I would find the words
And maybe I would finally be heard
And I would face what I have feared

But I got drunk
And you know the rest
I fell asleep
While I was still fully dressed
And the TV glowed
In the dark of the night
It woke me up
With a flicker of light

And maybe I would write a song
And maybe the world would sing along
Maybe I would finally right some wrongs

But then I got drunk
And you know the rest
I'll wake up in the night
Having failed the test
I'll wake to sleep
And I'll take my waking slow
I seem to learn by going
Where no one should have to go
