Description
This song addresses the "woe is me" feeling we often have when we wake up, when you would think a life this precious would have days that begin with a bit more gratitude.
Lyrics
Open my eyes hours past sunrise snooze the alarm for another reprise slowly my mind gravitates to the day that awaits Looking ahead just elicits dread Burdensome thoughts tumble 'round in my head I could ignore them when I was still warm in my bed. CHORUS I want to be wide awake when the morning reaches my room. I want to be miles away lost in nature somewhere with you. it's a cliche that you hear some say if you are healthy, you shouldn't complain since you know you're gonna die, better live while alive pithy advice for an easy life if you don't have to do much to survive when things are tough you will swear that this stuff don't apply. I want to be wide awake when the morning reaches my room. I want the first day of vacation when the whole trip's in front of you. I want to be wide awake even on rainy days that I work I know this is earth, not heaven, I should be grateful for the dirt. that's easy advice if you have a nice life if you're pretty, rich, or young or you're doing something fun but don't be sayin' that to somebody who is trapped, busy working at a desk, for a cause he don't respect (that sounds like madness to someone who is filled with sadness) ahhh, that's the the modern tragedy CHORUS (I'll try to be thankful for the heartache and the hurt)
