Lyrics

I'm gonna stay in bed all day
I'm gonna stay in bed all day
But this could be my lucky day
Or it could turn to black
I might get lucky anyway
I might never come back

And it's too late for a wake up call
Too late for a wake up call

I'm gonna put it off today
I'm gonna put you on
Nothing I got to do today except for blow you off
My dreams are all just throwaways
My superstitions lack
I'm just unlucky anyway
All of my cats are black

Don't let the sun pass you by
Don't let it fall from the sky
Don't let the sunshine pass you by
Don't let the tear fall from your eye

I coulda stayed in bed all day
I coulda stayed in bed all day
Nothing I got to do today
I might just rise and shine

Don't let the sun pass you by
Don't let it fall from the sky
Don't let the sunshine pass you by
Don't let the tear fall from your eye

It's there each time I turn around I look away and you'll be gone
I could have done so many things
I could've have stayed
I should've have stayed

I should've stayed in bed all day
I should've have stayed in bed
