Lyrics
I Hate That
Alarm wakes me on time, I hate that.
Dry toast, orange juice, I hate that too.
Drive to work, wait in line, I hate that.
Life is mundane, not the same without you.
Chorus
Without you to sing me to sleep
The night's a day on the street
Without you to kiss me awake
I hate that it’s daybreak
Sun feels warm on my skin, I hate that.
People greet me and smile, I hate that too.
Home team scored a win, I hate that.
Life whirls around, drags me down without you.
Chorus
Without you to sing me to sleep
The night's a day on the street
Without you to kiss me awake
I hate that it’s daybreak
Bridge
Everything feels like grief
Your coming home is my relief.
Instrumental
At home, the TV drones, I hate that.
Friends phone, I hate that I hate that too.
Great job, wonderful home, I hate that.
Lifes in a haze, three more days without you
Lifes in a haze, three more days without you
And god knows that I love you
