Wake up, don't break down Just get up, there's a life that you want And you don't have a lot of time It's early, you've gotta go out Don't regret staying up last night Unless you plan to change something 'Cause you don't got a lot of time And you'll go uptown this time today Don't be scared you've gotta learn things somehow I know it's safer inside And you'll talk to someone today Don't be scared, you've gotta risk it sometimes I know it's safer in the woods Let's go out, get noodles It's something that I never had Living back in the woods It was nice there, it was quiet I made my mind there, but I just stayed at home Though I just had a lot of time And I just had a lot of time Now it's gone but I've got something else People that can take me outside I can learn directly this time And I'll miss those hours alone In the field, crying about East of Eden But now I can learn those lessons for real Everywhere I go, I'm starting to miss Everything that happened to me Everywhere I go, I'm starting to miss The places I used to live And everywhere I go, I'm starting to miss The friends that I used to have And everywhere I go, I'm starting to miss All the people I hardly knew
No matter where you go, you can't get caught up In anything that used to be No matter where you go, you can't get hung up On ideas of what could have been, oooh So scream out my name from across the whole city I think I could hear it if you yell loud enough And I'll open my ear drums and I'll stretch out my neck Because it's hard to know where you stand without some feedback And I might be wrong about this But I feel I can change At the peak of my confidence, I had my delusions I climbed too high, I could not see the bottom I was so alone that, the world lost it's meaning But I just kept climbing 'til I burst through the ceiling And I might be wrong But I think I can change Sitting in the back seat Listening to a song that we love Though we heard so many times before And I hope we hear so many more And I've said too much about my self And not enough about the friends who've helped me Thank for giving me your time And not just in practical ways Like staying with you when I hardly knew you Just thanks for talking to me So thanks for sticking around, I'll try to stick around here too Let's hang out sometime next weekend
