lyrics

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?
