[Verse 1]
Lyin' on your back
In the night, so black
Dreamin' of sweet love
Just beneath, above
[Verse 2]
There's a light on in the house
See the bug, see the mouse
Hear 'em fight, hear 'em shout
Hit the lights and go out
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just that time of the year
That brings them here
[Chorus]
Yesterday, the day got colder
Passed away, got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new
Oh, then today a rock rolled over
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to lay the way the lazy do
[Verse 3]
In the dirt of the flood
There's a stick in the mud
But in the heat of the sun
It is cool to be one
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just that time of the year
So stick right here
[Chorus]
Yesterday, the day got colder
Passed away, got one day older
Now it seems like everything is new
Then today a rock rolled over
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to lay the way the lazy do
[Bridge]
(Lay, the lazy do)
(Lay, the lazy)
[Verse 4]
May your thoughts be kind
May your knots unwind
May your dogs drink wine
May your days kill time
And may your fears go blind
As your regrets rewinds
A little peace of mind
May you wake to find
[Outro]
It's just that time of the year
That holds you dear
