12 in the Afternoon

[Verse 1]

Every single morning

I load on up

If I am so damn precious

I think I am corrupt



Routine is a madman

And I am just a fool

She is like a sapphire

So I get into a cruel



Sometimes I get tired of

Sleepin’ in my mind

Nights I will spend wide awake

Lookin’ at the time



[Chorus 1]

Why can’t you take what you get?

Why can’t you take what you get?

Why can’t you take what you get?

Baby



[Verse 2]

An entire day goes by

And I still feel ashamed

Oh, I feel bad about my chance

I had but didn’t take



Phosphorescent

Whatever

It’s gotten goddamn bland

If I don’t get no

Rest assured I

Will lose command



12 o’clock p.m. is nice

And nauseous in my head

Maybe I should load up more

And give it up instead



[Chorus 2]

Why can’t you take what you get?

Why can’t you take what you get?

Why can’t you take what you get?

Baby

You never take what you get

Why can’t you, why can’t you, why can’t you take what you get

Why can’t you, why can’t you, why can’t you take, take what you get
