Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song in my little upper west side New York City apartment about 6 months into living in New York. I lived in the living room of the apartment with a thick velvet navy blue IKEA curtain as a door. I also had those curtains on my two huge win

Sometimes in songwriting one small word can change everything. It was so tempting for me to be lazy and never make any changes to this song, but I was smart enough to play it for my former songwriting teacher, David Ganon, when I went for a short visit do

Lyrics
It's daylight and I didn't even realize cause my curtains never open to the sun
It's daylight but it's dark inside these walls and I never have to leave when there's food delivery
It's daylight and the people go outside and they do the things they do while I'm stuck inside this room
It's daylight and I didn't even realize cause my curtains never open to the sun
It's daylight but it's dark inside these walls and I never have to leave when there's food delivery
It's daylight and the people go outside and they do the things they do while I'm stuck inside this room
Wake up little girl
Stop covering your eyes
There's a life for you to live
And a family who loves you and some friends who want to see you smile
It's nighttime the time that I should sleep, but I'm longing for the day I left behind
It's nighttime, but it's light inside these walls and the TV shows the happiness I want
It's nighttime and I'm sad because I'm tired, but it might be that I'm tired cause I'm sad
Wake up little girl
Stop covering your eyes
There's a life for you to live
And a family who loves you and some friends who want to see you smile
Give them what they want little girl, don't be so afraid
It's just one bad day little girl
It's just one bad day
Wake up, wake up, wake up please oh please
Wake up, wake up, wake up please
Won't you wake up
Won't you wake up
Wake up little girl
Stop covering your eyes
There's a life for you to live
And a family who loves you and some friends who want to see you smile
Give them what they want little girl, don't be so afraid
It's just one bad day little girl
It's just one bad day
