Wake up the world is hungover. He slowly uncovers his head.
Looks at the clock and then tugs at his boxers and silently slips out of bed.
He'd been at it all night with a vengeance. He'd been quietly soothing his pain.
Started the night with the best of intentions but ended up wasted again.

Old friends and cigarettes, things that you love and the things you regret.
Memories fade away like the smoke haze.

It's been two years since Saginaw Valley. It's been four years since Chesapeake Bay.
He misses her touch. He's forgotten how much, tries just to get through the day.
He can't bear to think of her laughter. Her smile never gave her away.
The too frenzied course of a love much too short, gone when he left her that day.

Old friends and cigarettes, things that you love and the things you regret.
Memories fade to grey as the smoke drifts away.

Old friends and cigarettes, things that you love and the things you regret.
Memories fade away like the smoke haze.

Wake up the world is hungover. He slowly uncovers his head.
Started the night with the best of intentions but ended up wasted again.
