[Verse 1] Let the lights turn out on the stage, spin around Let all the things we've done and things we've said Just turn to love Let the taxi take me home, not far from here He'll shut up and I'll sleep 'til we're there [Chorus] "Lately, it breaks me," she said, "to turn these things to love" "So maybe, just lay me," she said, "down to sleep for a while" And if I wake in the morning I'll shake all this boring shit from my life [Verse 2] When all my memories fade and all that's left is an old man I'll be happy 'cause I know I've done all that I can to love [Chorus] "But lately, it breaks me," she said, "to turn these things to love" "So maybe, just lay me," she said, "down to sleep for a while" And if we wake in the morning We'll shake all this boring shit from our lives If we wake in the morning Let's shake all this boring shit from our lives [Bridge] Take the telephone off, let's sleep I'll dream of you if you'll dream of me We'll meet in the middle, we'll spend the night alive Formulate a plan Run for open lands Jump from hand to hand And we'll run to the water Dive into the sea Waves crawl over me Never wake again And we'll hide away forever [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] All the cigarette smoke and alcohol, it gets in my clothes And my eyes are red And I always look like I been crying [Outro] If we wake in the morning Let's shake all this boring shit from our lives If we wake in the morning Let's shake all this boring shit from our lives If we wake in the morning Let's shake all this boring shit from our lives If we wake in the morning Let's shake all this boring shit from our lives And if we wake in the morning Let's shake all this boring shit from our lives
