[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' at 11:11
Wasn't in Portland and I wasn't in heaven
Could have been either by the way I was feelin'
But I was alive
I was alive

[Verse 2]
Woke up this mornin' at 11:11
John was half-naked and Lulu was cryin'
Over a baby that will never go crazy
But I was alive

[Chorus]
And kickin' through this cruel world
Holdin' a notion of you at 11:11
Tell me what else can I do
What else can I do?

[Verse 3]
Woke up this mornin' and somethin' was burnin'
Realized that everythin' really does happen in Manhattan
Thoughts were of characters and afternoons lyin'
And you
You were alive
[Chorus]
Oh the hours we are separate
11:11 is just precious time we've wasted
So patch up your bleedin' hearts
And put away your posies
I'm gonna have a drink
Before we ring around the rosies with you

[Outro]
Oh the hours we are separate
Oh the hours we are separate
11:11
