Robert Loud - Fake Out

I never was good at being patient

Yeah, I have a hard time waiting in the wings

Everybody says I fall in love too fast

That I'm jumping the gun

And I'm rushing into things

But you

I thought you were different

Yeah you

Please tell me that it isn't

Just another fake out

Example

This morning Alex had trouble getting out of bed. He had a great time practicing running at schoool yesterday afternoon. When he went back home, his mom asked him to do a lot of cleaning and washing.

Example

As a result, he postponed working on his English assignment. Yet he did not want to have problems with English learning, so he stayed up late studying till 3:00 am. What advice would you give to Alex to stop him from having a hard time going to bed earlier?
