Five Days, Seven Nights

I found a way
To help me ease the pain
I’m on my way back to you

Working five days
And seven nights I drink
It makes it easy to get through

Five days, seven nights

Nine to five keeps me alive
On the straight and narrow
Forty hours a week
Is all but extinct

I’m stealing time
From what I borrowed

Five days, seven nights

Life is too short
To live it by someone else’s rules
It’s mine
About time I choose
It’s never too late
For you to choose your fate
From the cradle to the grave
