I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house,
Surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know
On failing to find my friends
I decided that it was clearly time to go
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could
There was no one there I knew to say goodbye,
Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine
Of the Sunday morning light
I started the night with all my friends
and I ended up alone
Oh yes, I started out so happy
now I'm hung over and down
it was about then that I realised
I was halfway through
the best years of my life
I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was
And maybe even find a bus back home
I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets
And a charger for my phone
Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last
And so I rifled through my pockets for some change
But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes
And a sinking sense of shame
CHORUS 2 / MIDDLE
I started the night with all my friends
and I ended up alone
Oh yes, I started out so happy
now I'm hung over and down
it was about then that I realised
I was halfway through
the best years of my life
I had to ask myself well...
Is it really worth it?
Is any of this worth it?
Well the whole thing's far from perfect,
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains
The real damage started to sink in
It had been quite a heavy weekend
And I could just about remember where I'd been.
Well I started the night with all my friends
And I ended up alone,
I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down.
I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick
It was about then that I realized
I was halfway through
The first day of the week
