This song was originally written during the stone age (1993) but I deemed it too soft for the band I was in at the time. I recorded a solo version of it back then and recently I decided that I'd try a new, more contemporary version.

lyrics

I don't understand why the dawn has gotta come so early in the morning
Or why the night has got to be so dark.
Been thinking 'bout eating chocolate marshmellow moonpies
or kissing all the strangers in the park.

And Saturday don't mean a thing to me when I can't get up and find a thing to do
but I'm nearly over you.
And I can almost sleep the whole way through the night.
It's never been just black or white
with only a candle light
and I'm nearly over you. I'm nearly over you.

I'm thinkin' Mondays probably really aren't that bad
but Tuesday coulda been a better day.
Shoes on the floor looking up at me. They're the only thing that moves
that haven't already got up and walked away.

Wednesday is the only day it takes to make me feel this way. I can start anew
'cause I'm nearly over you.
Friday comes to noon to find me bored again.
Can't remember what I said
but I'm still not dead
and I'm nearly over you. I'm nearly over you.
