8 O’Clock Alarm
[Verse 1]
I can't believe it
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen is
Right in front of me and now she's reachin' out her hand
Sayin', "Will you take a chance?", mm-mm

[Chorus]
So I took her hand and spun around
We danced until the sun went down
Then we hit the ground and talked about
How our lives were workin' out, and
Just like that, we fell in love
Oh, how magical it was
And everything was beautiful
Until it all came crashin' down
I can't believe
My eight o'clock alarm was ringin'
I was only dreamin'

[Verse 2]
I should've known it
Nothin' in this world could be so perfect
Now I have to go on livin' like we didn't, mm, ever happen
But I know I won't forget

[Chorus]
When I took her hand and spun around
We danced until the sun went down
Then we hit the ground and talked about
How our lives were workin' out, and
Just like that, we fell in love
Oh, how magical it was
When everything was beautiful
Before it all came crashin' down
Still can't believe
My eight o'clock alarm was ringin'
I was only dreamin'
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're like a shadow
You follow me everywhere I go
But still I can't hold you, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm

[Chorus]
But it felt so real, we were so in love
And oh, how magical it was
And everything was beautiful
And there was nothin' else but us
It felt so real, we were so in love
And oh, how magical it was
And everything was beautiful
Before it all came crashin' down
Still can't believe
My eight o'clock alarm was ringin'
I was only dreamin'
