When I wake up, there's no cereal
It's an existence you might call surreal
I'm not totally awake when I get up
Most often, that REM thing? I interrupt.

R: No, the best part of waking up isn't food
The best part isn't a fresh start
The best part of waking up isn't laughter
The best part is you in my heart

So I'm up and I'm at 'em and I go right back to bed
Because, truth be told, I'm such a sleepyhead
I need eight hours or I fall asleep at work
I might stay awake with you-now there's a perk!

My English final's due tomorrow night
and I know I am the cause of my own plight
I should be writing about Brooks or Updike
but you're on my mind instead, which I like

So here we are and it's a quarter of midnight
But all I can think about is you and me are right
And the best part of waking up

It's you.

No, the best part of waking up isn't food
The best part isn't a fresh start
The best part of waking up isn't laughter
The best part is you in my heart

It's you.   It's you.

It's you.
