Waking Up Lyrics

Driving home from their show

There is nothing like the joy of the people who know you

The ones who hold you when you feel you don't deserve it

When the thought of your life leads to "oh, why preserve it?"

And the fog is thick and all the streetlights are off

But you're driving like tonight is enough

So you said a dumb thing and I snapped

It's just that sometimes relating, it makes me feel trapped

But they know a place and it's gonna be ok

Sometimes dreams come true, they say

And the windshield is hazing over 'cause we're all breathing the same air

And the times are changing now 'cause we're close enough not to care

And the life that I want doesn't sit on a cloud

And the part that feels sorry just can't speak the loudest anymore

Something is coming in the space I'm taking up

I'm waking up

And the road is still not clearing

And all of the windows are covered now

All the steam from all our breathing

I guess that we're all lovers now

And we're trading bridges for tunnels with so much hanging left unsaid

Lost at sea, we desperate couples we work so hard to push through the dread

And the life that I want doesn't sit on a cloud

And the part that feels sorry just can't speak the loudest anymore

Something is coming in the space I'm taking up

I'm waking up

Up

Up

Up

Waking up 'cause I owe it to them all

Waking up 'cause there's nowhere further to fall

If I'm here and I'm planning on staying alive

And I swear she looked me in the eye

And the life that I want doesn't sit on a cloud

And the part that feels sorry just can't speak the loudest anymore

Something is coming in the space I'm taking up

I'm waking up

Up

Up

Up

Waking up 'cause I owe it to them all

Waking up 'cause there's nowhere further to fall

If I'm here and I'm planning on staying alive

And I swear she looked me in the eye
