The Flat Stanleys - When you wanna die but you got a 9 a.m. lyrics

[Verse 1] Late night conversations turn to late night drinks As I crawl on hands and knees To someone else's arms And we'll both close our eyes And pretend that I'm not me But then I open my eyes and I'm alone in my room again With screenshots of conversations that we had when I didn't introduce you as "my friend" [Verse 2] And I will help you look at schools And I will help you plan your future The one that doesn't involve me in any sense But that's your right And I will help you sleep at night At the expense of my own body But every day only feels okay Until I wake up in the morning This double twin bed swallows me whole The jersey sheets become my lifeline Thank you Carlo, Jason, and Meghan And anyone else who was around When I was lying on the bathroom floor And then sky became the ground It's not my time, it's not my time Not quite yet [Verse 3] Nothing is that bad, not really, you tell me As I sit alone in bed and try to make sense Of the dots on the ceiling Soon they'll become mountains And my eyes will put off the climb That I know that I must make But not quite yet, I'm not prepared I need to do my laundry and cut my hair I need to acknowledge all the things I can't ignore anymore Like my cut off shorts and the Box of nicotine patches That's always empty and lying on my desk But not quite yet [Bridge] These words have so little meaning, anyway You remind me as I walk back to my place Through the crowds of everyone that you thought I could be But that's not me, that's not me, not really [Chorus] Nothing is that bad not really You tell me as I sit alone in bed Nothing is that bad not really You tell me as I sit alone in nothing Is that bad? not really You tell me as I sit alone in (bed) nothing Is that bad? not really you tell me As I sit alone in bed
