[Verse 1]
Running down my batteries
Laying me out to rest, yeah
Knowing that in five hours
I'll wake up and de-stress
And I'm digging myself into a hole
And these days I just work
And when once I had so much soul

[Chorus]
And lately, I've forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is working overtime
It's been a long day
Such a long day, mm

[Verse 2]
And while all my contemporaries (All my friends, yeah)
Are sitting in college now (Are sitting in, yeah)
My education is dragging, dragging, dragging (Dragging)
My guitar through London town
And the thing that wakes me when (Thing that wakes me when)
I could sleep instead
Is the thought that tonight
I can fall back into bed
[Chorus]
And lately, I've forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is working overtime
It's been a long day
Such a long day, mm

[Bridge]
Recently my head
It isn't recharged as such
And sleep can only cure, yeah
A restless mind so much

[Chorus]
And lately, I've forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is working overtime
It's been a long day
Such a long day, mm
