Verse:
                        
Woke up this morning at 11:11
                        
Wasn't in Portland and I wasn't in heaven
                             
Could have been either by the way I was feeling
                   
But I was alive, I was alive
                        
Woke up this morning at 11:11
                        
John was half-naked and Lulu was crying
                      
Over a baby that will never go crazy
                
And I was alive and kicking
             
Through this cruel world
                   
Holding a notion of you at 11:11
                   
Tell me what else can I do
     
What else can I do?

                         
Woke up this morning and something was burning
                                    
Realized that everything really does happen in Manhattan
                               
Thoughts were of characters and afternoons lying
             
And you, you were alive

                         
Oh the hours we are separate
                   
11:11 is just precious time we've wasted
    (bar)
So patch up your bleeding hearts
    
And put away your posies
          
I'm gonna have a drink
                                    
Before we ring around the rosies with you
       
Oh the hours we are separate
                     
Oh the hours we are separate
