[Verse 1]
When the dawn is breathing life into the streets
I'll be cursing my alarm to let me sleep
For there are no words at dawn that sound as sweet
As when you whisper to yourself, "No, not today"

[Chorus]
No, not today (Hey)
No, not today (Hey, hey)
No, not today (Hey)
No, not today (Hey, hey)

[Verse 2]
If I bury my head underneath the sheets
Like a seed beneath the soil buried deep
Could I grow roots to keep me anchored down?
So I may whisper to myself, "No, not today"

[Chorus]
No, not today (Hey)
No, not today (Hey, hey)
No, not today (Hey)
No, not today (Hey, hey)
