|| Lyrics ||

It's too late to go back to bed. You check the time just to know it's there.
You've got the rest of your life to tell it - you're not fooling anyone.
See, life's been good to me, really missed your chance to have everything.
You've got the rest of your life to dwell.
You know, I know, we're not fooling anyone.

Three years on my first degree, four more 'til the salary.
I've been spending my time trying to find myself.
I'm a trust fund baby slouch. Gee, that feels good to say aloud.
You think you're a champ? You give up the most, but come out on top.

It's too late to go back to bed. You check the time just to know it's there.
You've got the rest of your life to tell it - you're not fooling anyone.
You really are your mother's son, casting shadows over everyone.
You know you really don't look too well.
You know, I know, we're not fooling anyone.

Turned back 'cause I lost my way. Saw you kissing behind the stage.
I wipe the blood off my nose with the back of my hand.
So you start spinning lies, leaving him ashamed inside.
You think you're a champ? You give up the most, but come out on top.

You've got the rest of your life to dwell.

It's too late to go back to bed, you check the time just to know it's there.
(Spend the rest of your life as somebody else. What damage is done?)
Turned back 'cause I lost my way. Saw you kissing behind the stage.
(You think you're a champ? You give up the most but come out on top)
It's too late to go back to bed, you check the time just to know it's there.
(Spend the rest of your life as somebody else. What damage is done?)
Turned back 'cause I lost my way. Saw you kissing behind the stage.
(You think you're a champ? You give up the most but come out on top)
It's too late to go back to bed. You check the time just to know it's there.
