Remember when there was nothing else to do
But to lie in bed and wonder how it was always up to you and no one else
Early mornings, made by warnings, what's the point of the alarm that I'm ignoring
It's either raining, I'm not complaining, but waking up is hard to do

Turn my head it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone tem times a day
Why get up in the morning doesn't even start till two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

Remember when we would hang out everyday
And we would rather not be told what to do or what to say 'cause nothing mattered
Never boring with slept in mornings
Not ashamed of bad habits that I'm forming
It's not important if days are shortened
I can't make time when nothing's new
Cause waking up is hard to do

Turn my head it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone them times a day
Why get up in the morning doesn't even start till two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

What's a day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever
Can't complain when there's nothing there to blame, and things can't be better
Summer evenings, teenage grievings
Got no problem with the life that I've been leading
No concentration on hesitation, I can't make time when nothing's new
'cause waking up is hard to do

Turn my head it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times a day
Why get up in the morning doesn't even start till two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

    General Comment:So other people do feel the same as I do! I'm always under the impression that everyone else is out having fun all the time :/
    I love looking at these song meanings forums. Sometimes I like hearing about other people's problems, it makes mine seem normal. I'm not terribly sentimental or depressing, but I occasionally gotta listen to this type of music.
    (I usually listen to pretty lightweight stuff: Primus, sublime, marley, scientist, reggae, rap...fuck, I'll even hit classical every once in awhile)

    My Interpretation:I think this song can be interpreted in more than one way. I agree that this song could be about being lazy, not wanting to do anything, just wanting to sleep all day. However, I think it could also mean that life is just fine to you (Got no problem with the life got no problem with the life that I've been leading) but still, everything's the same and you're growing bored. This song also sorta explains me on Sundays before another school week.

    General Comment:I personally believe that the message in this song is about how they are bored to death and really have nothing better to do, nothing's new, everything's the same, so they just sleep their days away just to kill time...
    And the song's title probably means that they are just so bored and depressed, there's nothing new going on that they are waiting for something massive to happen, like a heart attack...

    General Comment:i wrote this song about growing up.
    in the lines:

    "Remember when there was nothing else to do, but lie and bed and, wonder how it was always up to you, and no one else and"

    he is referring to probably his parents. how he is growing up now and isn't under his parents wing anymore. he must make decisions all of a sudden.

    the song progresses into talking about how life as an adult is boring and unexciting. and how waking up as an adult is far different than living as a kid. how life as a teenager was open and free. and how life an adult was hectic and tight.

    The song then closes in saying forget all the "bad" things you have to deal with as an adult and live how it was before. have fun.

    General Comment:I feel this song. Every day, everything feels the same. After a while, you just begin to wonder, why even bother at all? Sleep just seems nicer.

    General Comment:Yeah, this song perfectly describes my summer two years ago.
    I had the perfect small group of friends.
    3 girls, including myself, and 3 guys.
    And we would hang out everyday, and I mean EVERY day.
    We stayed up late start gazing and camping in each other's backyards.
    Oh god it was the life.
