Verse 1 Lazy Jane, it's half past two, There's coffee getting cold for you. Your shoes are underneath my chair, Your coat's still hanging on the stair. You said, “Go on, I'll catch you there,” Like you always did. So we went on without you, Jane. We were stupid kids. Verse 2 Lazy Jane slept through the rain, Missed the bus and missed the train. Could lose a Tuesday, lose a week, Then turn up smiling, kiss my cheek. We learned to laugh when you'd disappear, You made it easy to. Nobody asked where you had been. We thought we knew. Chorus Wake up, Lazy Jane, We've waited long enough. I've got your sweater in my room, Your number's written on my cuff. Wake up, Lazy Jane, Come stumbling through the door. I'll never call you lazy— I won't say it anymore. Verse 3 Your mother called me yesterday. I knew before she had to say. She said my name, then nothing came, Just breathing down the line. I watched the kitchen clock move once From twenty-eight to twenty-nine. And I thought— You'd hate us crying. Chorus Wake up, Lazy Jane, We've waited long enough. There's coffee getting cold again. I'll make another cup. Wake up, Lazy Jane, You don't have to explain. You can sleep all afternoon. Just wake up, Jane. Bridge We called you careless. Called you late. Called you hopeless While we'd wait. Never called you frightened. Never asked you why. God, Jane. Final Verse Lazy Jane, it's half past two. I wore that stupid shirt from you. The sleeves are long, the collar's torn, It smells like nothing anymore. Your shoes aren't underneath my chair. Your coat isn't on the stair. I know. I just keep looking there. Outro Coffee's cold. Bus has gone. Sleep, Jane. We'll catch up later.
