I rise to greet the day

Despite the monsters underneath my bed

I grab a pen and count to ten

And spill the contents of my head

This is the here this is the now

I gotta make it somehow

Sometimes it feels as if my brain is bursting

Gotta write it down

Note to self

Feed the dog call the mom write a song

And rule the world by noon

Note to self

Make the grade make your mark break a leg

And don't forget to always work the room

'Cause everything is going by so fast

I just wanna make something that lasts

But I'm gonna leave the keys up on the shelf

Note to self

Note to self

Note to self

Note to self

Note to self

I lose myself inside the night

Despite the demons in my mind

We hit the streets and take his hand

To promise land ain't far behind

Whether it's right or if it's wrong

I wanna party all night long

Sometimes it feels as if my brain is bursting

Gotta work it out

Note to self

Feed the dog call the mom write a song

And rule the world by noon

Note to self

Make the grade make your mark break a leg

And don't forget to always work the room

'Cause everything is going by so fast

I just wanna make something that lasts

But I'm gonna leave the keys up on the shelf

Note to self

Note to self

Note to self
