Night/Day Lyrics by Mae

(M)(A)(E)

2009

[Verse 1]
I've been dreaming such a long time
And I've been waiting for the sunshine
But all my friends they say I'm getting by
With sleeping in
They say I'm sleeping in (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
You know whenever I try I want to get it right
But I distract my focus and blur my own sight
'Cause I've convinced myself that
My best can only come in the moonlight
And I keep sleeping in
I keep on sleeping in and missing something

(Close your eyes before the daylight breaks)

[Verse 3]
There are things about me I just can't ignore
I know I want to change when I see that door
On the other side, daylight decides there will be war
With sleeping in
Oh, I know there'll be no more sleeping in, yeah

[Bridge 1]
I wait, I wait, I wait only in jest
I wait, I wait, I wait with no need to rest, I wait
"The day, the day, the day will come again," I say
A ray of light can only get in if I say
I've been putting off this purification
A rebirth and regeneration inside of me
And I've been saying no for far too long
Even though something brand new is coming out of me

[Chorus]
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning
And then decide
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning
And make it mine
Rain or shine

[Bridge 2]
I wake, I wake, I wake and greet the day
The light is all the change is made I can see my way
The day, the day, this day is come again
Each ray of light will make its way into the core of me
I always knew I was missing something
I know this time I will leave nothing up to chance
And in the wake of this brand new day
I see the light and I feel the sun
And I'll do it all again tomorrow

[Chorus]
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning
And then decide
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning
And make it mine
