[Verse 1]
Well I've been waking up at twelve P.M.,
In my boxers in this empty bed
Eating Sour Patch Watermelons
The boys murked the day before
I'm watching bad reruns of Mad TV
This shit's not even close to funny
But I don't work today 'til three
And the remote is on the floor
So when are you coming over?
Please, just say right now

[Chorus]
We won't sleep our lives away
And today (and today, and today and today)
We'll make waves
In this lake of shit we've made, I refuse to sink
We can't live our lives this way;
Not today (or today, or today.)
If this sea of metaphoric bullshit stays, I won't sink

[Verse 2]
Well, the party starts at nine P.M
In whichever house is close and vacant
We'll call the ten friends we've got left
To pretend we've got a life
And the boys are slaying shitty brews
But I've been slaying orange juice.
You know we don't got shit to do
I guess we'll stay the night, fuck
It's too cold out to ride my bike today
It's been raining since we got home last week
[Chorus]
We won't sleep our lives away
And today (and today, and today and today)
We'll make waves
In this lake of shit we've made, I refuse to sink
We can't live our lives this way;
Not today (or today, or today.)
If this sea of metaphoric bullshit stays, I won't sink

[Bridge]
But some nights (I fucking love this town, I fucking love this town)
But most nights (I fucking hate this town, I fucking hate this)
But some nights (I fucking love this town, I fucking love this town)
But most nights (I fucking hate this town, I fucking hate this)

[Outro]
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout being a doctor or a teacher (I refuse to sink)
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout being someone at all; (I refuse to sink)
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout being a doctor or a teacher
Just someone that changes something
Someone that changes something
Someone that changes something
Anything
