[English]

Oh I woke up with a headache

I think I might have slept late last night

Put my face into my pillow

Saying sorry I will make notes

I will fix my sleep schedule tonight

Oh uh oh, I might

Oh uh oh, I’ll try

But now I just need to wipe the sleep out of my eyes

Oh uh oh, I know

Oh uh oh, I won’t

Make it out of my bed if I keep biding my time

I just need some coffee in the morning

No sugar or tea

‘Cause I can feel my eyelids falling

They’re trying to sleep

But if I take a sip of caffeine

Then surely I'll be

Awake until the evening

Until we go back to sleep

Now I’m waiting, water’s boiling

Half-asleep I’m swaying left and right

But suddenly the rich aromas

Drift up to my face and now I'm thinking

Am I gonna stay awake today?

I just need some coffee in the morning

No sugar or tea

‘Cause I can feel my eyelids falling

They’re trying to sleep

But if I take a sip of caffeine

Then surely I'll be

Awake until the evening

Until we go back to sleep

(enjoy nalba's whistling)

(i can't whistle at all ;-;)

(ALSO the birdies they are back!)

(okie thanks for listening <3)
