When I Wake Up

  • Wake up in the morning and I feel like this, yeah
    I was calling out a bitch, be in a tryst
    And I was, "Oh, don't man", but I'll do it again
    And I was running out of gas so I'm doing it dead
    Then I went along with a suicide
    Didn't wanna leave, it was on my mind
    And then I looked into the mirror and I wasn't saved
    I was one more gone again today, but

    I'm doing fine, killing time
    I'm doing fine, killing time
    When I wake up, I don't know where I was last night
    Oh

    Get in the car at a quarter to three
    And I was looking at a lady who was looking at me
    And I was trying hard to think but I couldn't drink
    'Cause I was already on some trip I need
    And I was on my knees and I wanted to be
    Everything I could and I couldn't believe
    So I got in the back, I was feeling the rush
    So I run, I run, running again and

    I'm doing fine, killing time
    I'm doing fine, killing time
    Over the line with a friend of mine
    I'm doing fine, killing time
    When I wake up, I don't know where I was last night
    Fuck

    Uh

    Me? I couldn't be alone with me
    I want him to be young and alone with me
    And I don't wanna do it, make a clone of me
    I don't want it in, tear it out of me
    Couldn't find a pulse, what's wrong with me?
    Treat me like a dog, fetch a bone for me
    I couldn't what I wanna be
    And I run, I run, I'm burning and Ben said

    I'm doing fine, killing time and I'm-
    I'm doing fine, killing time
    Over the line with a friend of mine
    I'm doing fine, killing time
    When I wake up, I don't know where I was last night Writer/s: Ben Phillips, Taylor Momsen
