Woke Up New

[Verse 1: John Darnielle] On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time I felt free, and I felt lonely, and I felt scared And I began to talk to myself almost immediately Not being used to being the only person there Hmmmm [Verse 2] The first time I made coffee for just myself I made too much of it, but I drank it all Just cause you hate it when I let things go to waste And I wandered through the house, like a little boy lost at the mall And an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space [Chorus] And I sang oh What do I do? (x3) What do I do without you? [Verse 3] On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time I was cold, so I put on a sweater And I turned up the heat And the walls began to close in And I felt so sad and frightened I practically ran from the living room out into the street And the wind began to blow and all the trees began to bend And the world in its cold way started coming alive And I stood there like a businessman waiting for a train And I got ready for the future to arrive [Chorus]
