I Was Up So Late Now It's Not Possible To Concentrate

I was up so late Now I cant 
 Hold my eyes open or concentrate 
 I really can't speculate 
 What kept me up so late 
 What possessed me 
 To be so careless and free

 How this all messes with my mind
 That everything I do feels like I am lagging behind
 Oh how I wish I could rewind 
 Instead, I just want to fall out and unwind 
 Because I was up so late
 Now it's not possible to concentrate
 
 It's just crazy how no sleep makes me feel
 Like my brain is out to lunch
 And everything is a big deal 
 One thing is for sure
 I got no business behind a wheel 
 Because I can hardly peel my eyelids open
 To see what is in front of me 

 All I know is they are really sloping 
 And all I want to do is more moping
 Just hoping that I can make something out of this day 
 All I can say when we want 
To stay up late so we can play

 It cost so much more than just
 To next day in such a big way 
 So if I can sway you from  wasting your next day
 Because you want to stay up to play 
 It's way easier to just right off and throw away 
 Because you were up so late 
 Now it's not possible to concentrate
