This is the story of every persons childhood. We never wanted to go to sleep. We were either afraid of the dark or we simply wanted to stay up late and play games.

Lyrics
Too Early For Bed
Verse:
Im off the bus
and done with the -chalk-board world
planet fun here I come
I'm on my board
with my Ed Hardy gear on
I'll be out till Mom yells, "food's done".
Pre-Chorus:
Leave the board games and my favorite shows on
I don't want em to end
The clock keeps ticking closer to that time again
I don't want you to say those words.
Chorus:
Mom it's too early for bed
I'll be up counting sheep fighting monsters under my bed
I can't fall asleep or begin to dream
by counting backwards under my breath
Oh Mom it's too early for bed.
Verse 2:
I'm gonna rush
to get my homework done
by the time it get's done I'll be 21
My bff Kate
wants to Rock Band tonight
She's got the drums and I got the mic
Pre-Chorus:
Leave the board games and my favorite shows on
I don't want em to end
The clock keeps ticking closer to that time again
I don't want you to say those words.
Chorus:
Mom it's too early for bed
I'll be up counting sheep fighting monsters under my bed
I can't fall asleep or begin to dream
by counting backwards under my breath
Oh Mom it's too early for bed.
Bridge:
I wanna pillow fight grab a bite and stay up all night
I wanna keep watching TV and talk'n online
I wanna play the games I like to play with no end in sight
I just wanna have fun, I just wanna have fun
Im off the bus
and done with the -chalk-board world
Chorus:
Mom it's too early for bed
I'll be up counting sheep fighting monsters under my bed
I can't fall asleep or begin to dream
by counting backwards under my breath
Oh Mom it's too early for bed.
