Lyrics

I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know
On failing to find my friends, I decided it was clearly time to go
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could - there was no one there I knew to say goodbye
Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine of the sunday morning light

I started the night with all my friends and I ended up alone
I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down
It was about then that I realized I was half-way through the best years of my life

I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was, and maybe even find a bus back home
Longing for a shower, and for clean sheets, and a charger for my phone
Suddenly it hit me - I got paid this friday last, and so I rifled through my pockets for some change
But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes and a sinking sense of shame

I had to ask myself:
Is is really worth it? is any of this worth it?
Well the whole thing's far from perfect
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time

Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains - the real damage started to sink in
It'd been quite a heavy weekend and I could just about remember where I'd been
Well I started the night with all my friends and I ended up alone
I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down
I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick
It was about then that I realized I was halfway through the first day of the week
