It's 5am and in an hour I'm gonna leave you babe And the sparrows are singing on the garden shed Seems nothing's understood in this life but that the time it ticks on And you don't get it back, just got to get outta bed There's something in my head or my heart Think someone hid it there from the very start Shadows on the sea I got a record in my brain that was broken long ago It's been skipping my whole life and now the needle's come free But the writing's on the wall and I've got a devil in my soul need to excise I'm becoming the man I never wanted to be And nothing's gonna change but who we are No nothing's gonna change, just the sun and stars
