to see your strengths
for the first time
with new ideas
free from fears
i'm well aware
that chance is in the past now
so check the box
and sign at the dotted line
wake up kid
and make your life
with no one to tell you how
crooked pictures
hanging in your house
do they give you steady ground?
plaster walls, a coat of paint
god only knows what's underneath
she is all that keeps you neat
till the day you crack and she leaves
wake up kid
and make your life
with no one to tell you how
your lack of lust
betrays your doubt
what do you do when no one's around?
wake up kid
make your life
with no one to tell you how
i thought you had
it all figured out
so what won't you say aloud?

you can't deny
what you see outside
don't bat an eye
it will be alright
feels a little fed up
when you remember that
things used to be better
better
better to forget
you're trying to make
habits for habits' sake
with your eyes on the horizon
it makes it hard
to watch your step

the old ways are over
04:15
|

|
how does it feel to know
your days are spent
holding onto things
you'll soon forget?
a million ways to tell me
the best you ever felt
with leaves beneath your feet
inhaling fall air
how did it feel
to forget your favorite memory?
or just remembering
that you will someday?
the old ways are over

sitting still
03:32
|

|
please, just press the brakes
without sliding off these icy switchbacks
it still surprises me
we stayed safe in the back seat
climbing onto
forbidden rooftops
those dark days spent sleeping
are all i want when i'm awake
crashing cars
into the lake
sitting by the water side
aging till our nerves subside
we could have spent
at least forty years
drunk on all our thoughts
sitting completely still

if you dare
03:07
|

|
when it's always been this way
how dare you ask for
any little change
put on your suit and tie
practice a toothy smile
and wave all your dreams
goodbye
day in
and day out
doors are closing
it's a waste of time to shout
the phone is ringing
who could it be?
trash collector, collecting fees?
or someone with bad news for me?
do the same thing your parents did
sacrifice it all for kids
then spend five years
doing what you want to
day in
and day out
friends are leaving,
becoming words inside an app
wake up
can't stop now
if it's raining out
might as well take a deep breath
