Afternoons Asleep

(album: 52 Weeks - 2009)

I've got nothing to do or say this week
I'll spend the better half of my afternoons asleep
And if anyone needs me, they'll just have to wait
I'm running late for anything remotely intriguing
And I haven't left home
In God knows how long
Moving oh-so-slow
And no one else knows what to do

I'll write this out instead
I've got major chords running through my head
And before I start citing unreliable sources
I'll put this to tape and get back in bed

Oh no!
Where does the time go?
I'm moving oh-so-slow
And everyone else knows
I haven't left home
In God knows how long
I'm moving oh-so-slow
But what do they know?

In time
I'll find
Solid ground and peace of mind
But for now
I've got my night all planned out
I made sure to set my alarm

Everyone's got a better plan but me
Everyone's got a better plan but me
I can wake up days and days later
I can wake up days and days later
With something good to say

Oh no!
Where does the time go?
I haven't left home
In God knows how long
I'm moving oh-so-slow
But what do they know?
What do they know?
What do they know?
What do they know?
