311 LYRICS - 8:16 A. M

"8:16 A. M."



Stranger flowers yet

There will never come a day that I will ever regret

The hours, days, years and the minutes

The joy, the pain, the sunshine and rain in it

The drives on the coast to nowhere

Nothing to say, just sit and stare

There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable

Not talking small, just skip the bull

Then I find myself in servility

Didn't think that was my ability

I go a yard and a mile to make you smile

But then I'm happy to see

I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical

Got a ways to go, the future's so cryptical and I'm glad

Just another many things we've had



It's 8:16 A. M., will you wake up to me

The first thing that you see

My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me

The day starts carefully

On the sidewalk with the dog

You're right last night I was a hog

Come on, I'm sorry

It's 73 degrees

January easily glides

Oh, easily glides



Stranger flowers still

If you're gonna wanna go another day I will

Like this, make it a deal, sealed with a kiss

Sealed with the feel of impermanent bliss

Today my love, we shall let the world slide

Turn off the ringer and just glide

For we will never be younger again then

What do you see



It's 8:16 A. M. will you wake up to me

The first thing that you see

My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me

The day starts carefully

On the sidewalk with the dog

You're right last night I was a hog

Come on, I'm sorry

Holiday on the radio

Billie knows that is the way to go

The way to go



A place where we both can spend our saved time

Not collecting interest

Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves homebound

I've got to do some homework

The leave response, we want to leave Wisconsin

For a new life, a new trailer with an antenna and a porch

Of course we'll bring the dog
