1:15, stayin' out late
We'll meet at the diner after our dates
To tell our stories and exaggerate
About the love we've known
About the love we've known
Stumble in 'bout a quarter-to-five
With no respect for the concept of time
I kick-off my shoes and start to unwind
By the radio's friendly glow
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep
And I close my eyes and make believe
That I can be what I choose to be
Without direction or self-esteem
Or so I propose
But I fell asleep in my clothes
Long strands of hair on my pillowcase
Left by a girl a few minutes late
I'll wait for her as long as I can take
And see how our love might grow
But I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep
And I close my eyes and try to see
The places our lives could lead
If I chose her and she puts up with me
And see how it goes
But I fell asleep in my clothes
Faded, wrinkled and stretched
Worn-out in places I'd like to forget
There must be more to life than regret
Welcome the days of the playground smiles
A far cry from those pool hall miles
Where I'd strut like a King feeling so worthwhile
Hey, what did I know?
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep
And I open my eyes and finally see
There's a world surrounding me
With people forging their destinies
Something their own
And I close my eyes and say goodnight
The TV's on and the lights are bright
And I'll do my best to uncover what's right
But only God knows
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep in my clothes
I fell asleep in my clothes
