I Fell Asleep in My Clothes Lyrics

1:15, stayin’ out late

We’ll meet at the diner after our dates

To tell our stories and exaggerate

About the love we’ve known

About the love we’ve known

Stumble in ‘bout a quarter-to-five

With no respect for the concept of time

I kick-off my shoes and start to unwind

By the radio’s friendly glow

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep

And I close my eyes and make believe

That I can be what I choose to be

Without direction or self-esteem

Or so I propose

But I fell asleep in my clothes

Long strands of hair on my pillowcase

Left by a girl a few minutes late

I’ll wait for her as long as I can take

And see how our love might grow

But I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep

And I close my eyes and try to see

The places our lives could lead

If I chose her and she puts up with me

And see how it goes

But I fell asleep in my clothes

Faded, wrinkled and stretched

Worn-out in places I’d like to forget

There must be more to life than regret

Welcome the days of the playground smiles

A far cry from those pool hall miles

Where I’d strut like a King feeling so worthwhile

Hey, what did I know?

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep

And I open my eyes and finally see

There’s a world surrounding me

With people forging their destinies

Something their own

And I close my eyes and say goodnight

The TV’s on and the lights are bright

And I’ll do my best to uncover what’s right

But only God knows

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep in my clothes

I fell asleep in my clothes
