[Verse 1]
You're always locked away
In your room you'll stay
Indecisive about the future
How your dreams have gone off to play
Stuck in a loop
As your birthdays pass
One day you'll wake up with a box full of junk
To remember the life you had

[Chorus]
Get a break some time
You'll never be happy if the sun don't shine
But it always shines where I live (wo-ooo-oah)
So I let down the shades
The big black curtains keep the light away (light away)
I wanna feel better but not today

[Bridge]
And everything is meaningless in some regard
I haven't found any so far
I've just been scrabblin' in the dirt to keep from crashing
I will push through the pain
Reach into the fire
Take experience to heart
And let the rest transpire
Just wake up each day to live
Just wake up each day to live

[Chorus]
Get a break some time
You'll never be happy if the sun don't shine
But it always shines where I live
So I let down the shades
The big black curtains keep the light away
I wanna feel better but not today
