| I saw PP live w/Incubus. They played this song, w/out piano, and with electric guitars. Much Better. If you can download a live version, try. | |

| I love this song...haha. The whole "rub the sleep out of my eyes" and getting out of bed reminds me I have to go to school...have you ever had days when you wake up and just know it's gonna be a **** day? This is the first song I put in my CD player when I wake up...it's like "Yes! someone feels the same I do!" | |
