lyrics

Oh please tell me to go outside, it's sunny
everyone is out there except for me
and i don't know why
the sky is blue, the leaves are still
there's people walking by
but for some odd reason, i'm sitting inside

i mean, summer's almost over
i should be taking it in
but i'm being lazy
and watching it instead
wake me up at eight, we can go ride bikes
drink a pot of coffee to start off the day
roll down the windows, we can drive for awhile
you can show me something knew, and i will too

it won't be long until there's snow on the ground
i'll be sitting in class for hours of the day
the birds won't be chirpin, the grass will be hiding
and i'll be busy

right now is the time that i have all the time in the day
i can stay out late and put freckles on my face
have a picnic with my friends in the grass
but for some odd reason i'm sitting inside

i mean summer's almost over,
i should be taking it in
but i'm being lazy
and watching it instead

wake me up at eight, we can go ride bikes
drink a pot of coffee, to start off the day
roll down the windows, we can drive for awhile
you can show me something new and i will too
