Every morning, I drag myself to the mirror,
Pull a comb through my hair, & hope I’m ready for the day
Where’d I put my keys? I hate this routine,
Grab a coffee to go, & it’s out the door for me
Wondering, “How the hell did this ever happen to me?”
But I got lost on my way to work,
I took a path I’d never took,
& I feel like I’ve got somewhere else to be,
Like there’s so much more out here for me
& when I finally find my way,
I’ve missed half the day, & I can’t explain why I’m late
I just came to say, “I won’t make it in today”
‘Cause I got lost on my way to work,
I took a path I’d never took,
& I feel like I’ve got somewhere else to be,
Like there’s so much more out here for me
Every morning, I drag myself to the mirror,
Pull a comb through my hair, & hope I’m ready for the day
