I rise to greet the day 
 Despite the monsters underneath my bed
 I grab a pen and count to ten
 And spill the contents of my head

 This is the here, this is the now
 I gotta make it somehow
 Sometimes it feels as if my brain is bursting
 Gotta write it down

 (CHOROUS:) 
 Note to self:
 Feed the dog,call the mom,write a song
 [bad word] the world by noon
 Note to self:
 Make the grade,make your mark,break a leg
 And don't forget to always work the room
 'Cause everything is going by so fast
 I just wanna make something that lasts
 But I'm gonna leave the keys up on the shelf
 Note to self...

 I lose myself inside the night
 Despite the demons in my mind
 We hit the street and take his hand
 To promise land, ain't far behind

 Whether it's right or if it's wrong
 I wanna party all night long
 Sometimes it feels as if my brain is bursting
 Gotta work it out

 (+REPEAT CHOROUS)

 Note to self...Note to self...
