Waking Up Lyrics

I slept for two hours

Now I'm up at three

I'm staring at my reflection that's staring back at me

I'm along for the ride

We're running all the red lights

Keep killing myself just to keep feeling alive

And this need to bleed leads me to believe

There's some part of me that stays in this backseat

I'n drinking coffee in the cold just to burn my throat

You burned down your house

Now you're out here alone

It's my third cup of coffee and I'm up to my knees

I'm always waking up I'm never falling asleep

I've taken years off my life but now I'm starting to think

There's magic in this coffee and it might mean

Something more than nothing if we start to believe

There's a good reason why strangers smile back at me

I know that I'll change but I don't know which way

I hope more like love and less like hate

Now you're trapped inside you're thinking back on your life

A few drinks at the bar

Some Irish whiskey and ice

But your one vice wants it's own sacrifice

Now you're calling for your mother for your kids and your wife

I don't know your name but I know the look in your eyes

Just wanting to hear "It will all be all right"

But this moment in time will last the rest of your life

It's darkest before dawn and it's the middle of night

It's my third cup of coffee and I'm up to my knees

I'm always waking up I'm never falling asleep

I've taken years off my life but now I'm starting to think

There's magic in this coffee and it might mean

Something more than nothing if we start to believe

There's a good reason why strangers smile back at me

I know that I'll change but I don't know which way

I hope more like love and less like hate

Something inside of me reminds me of my need to breath

I hope that that something brings some answers to me

Because the blood on my hands is familiar to see

These memories stretch what I count as a dream

It's my third cup of coffee and I'm up to my knees

I'm always waking up I'm never falling asleep

I've taken years off my life but now I'm starting to think

There's magic in this coffee and it might mean

Something more than nothing if we start to believe

There's a good reason why strangers smile back at me

I know that I'll change but I don't know which way

I hope more like love and less like hate
