[Verse 1] Finbar in the doorway, smile on his face Like he got a secret and he parked it in place “You slept late,” he said, calm and sure I blinked at the ceiling, then the floor, then the door I sit up slow, rub the sleep from my eyes Glance around the room, take in the surprise Zabulon on his bed with a stack of pages Muttering to himself, lost in his stages His hand moving fast, his jaw moving too Like the whole wide world had a lot to do Ink on his fingers, storm in his head I watch him cross out half the words he said [Pre-Chorus] I taste the morning, sharp on my tongue Still half in dreams, still not undone I look at the room, I look at the sun And I know this day has only begun [Chorus] You slept late, slept late You slept late, slept late What time is it? What time is it? You slept late, slept late You slept late, slept late Wake me up right Wake me up right [Verse 2] Finbar’s still smiling, like he knows the score Like he’s seen this story a hundred times before I swing my feet down, touch the cold wood Try to shake off the night like I thought I could Zabulon keeps mumbling, paper in a heap Circle after circle, no time for sleep He slants one line, then he starts again Like he’s chasing a thought that keeps running from him I clear my throat, but nobody reacts Just the scratch of the pen and the weight of the stacks So I step to the edge of that little scene Half awake, half caught in between [Pre-Chorus] My name in the air, then the quiet returns Pages and plans and the way he burns I look at the room, I look at the light And I try to catch up with the day that night [Chorus] You slept late, slept late You slept late, slept late What time is it? What time is it? You slept late, slept late You slept late, slept late Wake me up right Wake me up right [Bridge] Maybe I missed the first round Maybe the world kept turning while I was down Finbar’s grin like, “Girl, you’ll live” Zabulon’s still writing like he’s got to give So I pull myself up, no time to complain Shake off the haze, let it drain, let it drain If the morning wants me, it can wait in line I’m here now, and I’m right on time [Chorus] You slept late, slept late You slept late, slept late What time is it? What time is it? You slept late, slept late You slept late, slept late Wake me up right Wake me up right
