I've been having trouble sleeping lately
Caught a red eye to the north side
And I feel like I'm done for
Caught a black cat in the car port

Told peace leave the money in the top drawer
Bought her flowers so she thinks that I'm not bored
Spendin' on her like I'm not poor
I think I'm getting kinda burned out

Gotta take a break
Don't ever let em dull your shine
Spendin all your life on a 9 to 5
But you're still alive

It's not too late
The sun's still burning in the sky
As certain as the changing tides will rise
You know it's gonna be alright

You don't have to try that hard
You don't have to play the part
Sun settin' on the weekend
You sleep in
Thinking how it passed you by

But the glow from the screen
Can't tell you everything
I swear to god we're still alive
Don't want to see you crying

Gotta take a break
Don't ever let em dull your shine
Spendin all your life on a 9 to 5
But you're still alive

It's not too late
The sun's still burning in the sky
As certain as the changing tides will rise
You know it's gonna be alright

And on and on like the setting sun
Held to a gun
We will all turn red again

It's one to one with nowhere to run
We have just begun
We will end up dead again
