About setting the alarm a few years too late, watching life slide by your bedroom window.

lyrics

So is this how you'll spend your days?
You're staring at the ceiling,
You'll stare your life away,
The cold wind chills your bones,
Have a cup of coffee,
Waiting for the sadness to set in.

Soon, you cannot move,
You're numbed by all the things you didn't say or do,
Life passes by,
You're numbed by all the things you didn't try.

Then one day it all makes sense,
A misplaced smile invades your weary face,
But you're too weak to help yourself,

It's so clear you remember now,
You're number by all the things you cannot do,
You're numbed by all the things you cannot try.
