Hard To Stay Awake

It takes a lifetime just to make it work
maybe universal, atoms go berserk
inside my little brain
prefer to stay insane
than to walk the narrow lane
I've seen it all before

Then fall asleep at night
forget you had a fight
you're friends the next day

It's hard to stay awake
after an exciting day
it's hard to stay awake
it's hard to stay awake
after an exciting day
It's hard to stay awake
after an exciting day

It's not easy to make a new friend
it's easy to pretend
but it's hard to make a friend
unless you are a child
I'd like to be a child
a child running wild
lots of places to hide

Then fall asleep at night
forget you had a fight
you're friends the next day

It's hard to stay awake
after an exciting day
it's hard to stay awake
it's hard to stay awake
after an exciting day
it's hard to stay awake
after an exciting day

Create for me a little open space
I need it just in case
I have to make a hit
then I might need it
a little green lawn where game could play on
and we could be children
