Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah…
Woke up thinkin’ I’d do somethin’ today…
[Verse 1]
Woke up late, sun comin’ through the blinds
Told myself “man, don’t waste this time”
Got one thing ‘round three o’clock
Ain’t much, but it’s all I got
Sat on the edge of the bed too long
TV on but the sound feels wrong
Whole day’s gone and I ain’t moved
Just waitin’ on somethin’ I gotta do
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep lookin’ at the clock like it might run fast
But it just keeps draggin’ me back
[Chorus]
I’ve been stuck in waitin’ mode all week
Watchin’ days get away from me
Got the time, but I can’t use it
Don’t know why I always lose it
Same old couch, same TV glow
Same damn feelin’ I can’t let go
I keep sayin’ I’ll change soon
But I don’t
[Verse 2]
Wednesday night, I gave it a shot
Picked it up, then I just stopped
Put it down like it weighed a ton
Hell, I don’t know why I run
Thursday hits and it starts to sink
All the things I said I’d be
They don’t look much like me right now
And I don’t know how
Friday night, hear trucks roll by
People laughin’, livin’ life
I could go, I could get out
I just sit here on this couch
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every day I swear I’ll try
Every night just slips on by
[Chorus]
I’ve been stuck in waitin’ mode all week
Watchin’ days get away from me
Got the time, but I can’t use it
Don’t know why I always lose it
Same old couch, same TV glow
Same damn feelin’ I can’t let go
I keep sayin’ I’ll change soon
But I don’t
[Bridge]
It ain’t that I don’t wanna try
I just don’t know where to start
Feels like somethin’ in my mind
Keeps tearin’ me apart
There’s a man I think I could be
If I’d just get out my way
But I’ve been waitin’ all damn week
And watched him fade away
[Outro]
Sunday night… same old me
Nothin’ done… just thinkin’
Next week I’ll be different…
Yeah… I always say that
