Wake Up

'Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long I'm trying to run from our pride 'Til you set fire to my atmosphere And I remember how I spent the 23rd Feeling six feet under When I'm 30,000 feet in the air Chasing that sundown So far East, I'm Westbound Feeling like the edge of this world is near But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out of this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine Screaming through your airways Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me? So stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million Anyway? 'Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision haunts you And you can't see what's wrong And you keep sleeping through the p.m. Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You're sleepwalking, just keep talking And maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No B plan in your system Just tell me what you're thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not But you're not And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your makeup Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out of this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine Screaming through your airways Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them When they mean nothing to me So stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million You're so much better than that (Oh-oh-oh-oh) You're so much better than that (oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) You're so much better than that (oh-oh-oh-oh) Stay, you're not what you were hearing (oh-oh-oh-oh) 'Cause I've been watching you changing (oh-oh-oh-oh) And who said you're one in a million (oh-oh-oh-oh) Anyway? (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up Everything or more when I get back someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine Screaming through your airways Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say: "You're so much better than that"
