[Intro – 8 bars] [Playful piano melody, walking bass enters] [Light brush drums, soft clarinet fills] [Verse 1] Early morn, the world’s asleep Just you stirrin’, no dreams to keep That quiet creak, that “here we go” scene You’ve seen it all… you know what I mean [Pre-Chorus] Internal clock says “up you go!” Brain says “steady… I’m still slow…” [Chorus] Come on, body… start the day! Mind’s not even on the way Heart’s already doin’ its thing Head’s sayin’ “nope”… to everything So you sigh… [tiny pause] give it up Shuffle out and make that cup [Verse 2] Coffee brewin’, liquid gold Same old ritual, never gets old News rolls on, not much has changed Toast pops up… slightly singed [clarinet answers] [Pre-Chorus] Sixty years, and here’s the deal Only thing… it’s not ideal… [beat] It’s gettin’ earlier [Instrumental Break – 8 bars] [Piano lead, walking bass strong] [Clarinet/muted trumpet trading playful phrases] [Chorus] Come on, body… [beat] start the day! Mind’s not even on the way Heart’s already doin’ its thing Head’s sayin’ “nope”… to everything So you sigh… [tiny pause] give it up Shuffle out and make that cup [Verse 3] Hear a rustle from the room “Someone’s up?”… well, not quite soon Tiptoe in, “you want a cuppa?” Snorin’ says… “don’t even bother…” [Bridge] Eyes still closed, a sleepy sigh You just stand there wonderin’ why Little shake of the head instead “Righto… more for me,” you said [Final Chorus – slight lift] Come on, world… I’m up, alright! Even beatin’ morning light Sun’s not even in the sky Still here I am… don’t ask me why Another dawn… [pause] another cup Funny how it sneaks right up [Outro – 10–12 bars] [Return to intro groove] [Piano + clarinet playful trade-offs] [Gentle fade] [Spoken]: “Used to sleep in…” [beat] “…don’t even remember when.”
