Lyrics
It’s 5am and in an hour I’m gonna leave you babe
And the sparrows are singing from the garden shed
Seems nothing’s understood in this life but that the time it ticks on
And you don’t get it back, just got to get outta bed

Ooooo, oooooo, there’s something in my head or my heart
Think someone hid it there from the very start

Shadows on the sea I got a record in my brain that was broken long ago
It’s been skipping my whole life and now the needle’s come free
But the writing’s on the wall and I’ve got a devil in my soul that I need to excise
I’m becoming the man I never wanted to be

Ooooo, oooooo, and nothing’s gonna change but who we are
No nothing’s gonna change, just the sun and the stars

I do not own any rights of the song!
