[Verse 1]
And so it begins, a countdown can you think of a reason why you so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of this scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins

It started with a minute of your favorite sound
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins

Can you think of a reason that it's your favorite town?
It caught you with your finger on a video, girl
America is watching you now (Whoa oh!)
Countdown to a night gown

[Chorus]
Hey now, wake up
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up
You're always turning away (aahh)
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away (aahh)
And so it begins
[Verse 2]
It's the time of the season that you're a man around town
Imagination taking you where no one else can
Floating on sins that surround (Whoa oh!)
Countdown to a dark brown

[Chorus]
Hey now, wake up
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up
You're always turning away (aahh)
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
Aahh, aahh, aahh

[Verse 3]
And so it begins countdown can you think of a reason why you so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of this scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins

It started with a minute of your favorite sound
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins
[Bridge]
Aahh, aahh, aahh, aahh, aahh, aahh
Are you falling asleep?

[Outro]
Hey now, wake up
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away (aahh)
And so it begins
