Wake up, it's five AM, you fell in love again
Something wrong with living life like this
At work, can't help but stare, long legs and her dark brown hair
You give her a smile, and that's about it

The store it's six PM, you see her face again
You catch her eye, you panic and walk towards her
Can't think of what to say, no words come up today
So you just smile, and it's goodbye

You say, "so what, I fell in love," but it just won't work because

I fell in love again, don't know how it happened
She slipped away again, the same as last weekend
Oh it's a routine thing, just with some new feelings
I always choke up when I get close to closing in

So I stare straight into the mirror, hope I find something there
If not I know, I'll get shot straight back down
I dress up real nice, make sure my hair's right
Write down a few lines to tell her that I love her

You say, "so what, I fell in love," but it just won't work because

I fell in love again, don't know how it happened
She slipped away again, the same as last weekend
Oh it's a routine thing, just with some new feelings
I always choke up when I get close to closing in

And I'll make her mine, the one I sing about all the time
Cause she's in my dreams, but it's never as real as
As real as it seems, and I'm gonna need a lot more than hope
And maybe you'll be baby, or maybe not because I'm all choked up

I fell in love again, don't know how it happened
She slipped away again, the same as last weekend
It's a routine thing, just with some new feelings
I always choke up when I get close to closing in

I get close to closing in
