I'm in love with the world
Through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up a month ago
I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after


it's always been wait and see
a happy day and then you pay
and feel like shit the morning after
but now I feel changed around
and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after

Situtations get fucked up
But turned around sooner or laaaaa ter

I could be another fool
an exception to the rule
you tell me the morning after

Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows
And you see how it iiiiiiiis

They want you or they don't
Say yes

I'm in love with the world
Through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
