lyrics

It's a new year in the afternoon
And there's glasses on the table
You didn't miss the party but you kinda missed the point
And I think we're gonna be alright
It was written on the fridge magnets
It had a grasp of phrase you wouldn't expect from a container of milk
And I aint got the answers
I've only almost got the questions
And the in between is something I've got to find
But I managed to get some patience
I should do I waited for it for ages
Now I'll arrange the pages to start from one
The rest I can see in time

I feel like I just woke up
I feel like I just woke up

And time it waits for no man
Try telling that to the snowman
Who packed his bags and headed off to the frozen section
But instead of always trying to cheat it
Gotta hold your hands up and greet it
As it flows out of Greenwich
And up the Jubilee line
'Cause I've got a fresh perspective
That I can't leave undetected
It's like I've forgotten what I've lost
And suddenly I don't mind
So if You're cold and in the corner
My coat is yours to warm ya
I haven't got a watch but for you I've got the time

I feel like I just woke up
I feel like I just woke up

So hold my hand, tightly
And If I close my eyes, remind me to
Keep them wide
Not just let days go by

I feel like I just woke up
I feel like I just woke up
