I gave my things away,
I called the people that I only see on holidays,
This next year's gonna burn a hole in me.

I spend my weekdays in my car,
And the weekends drinking hard enough for two.
I think I'll settle down one of these days
Till I catch my breath,
I feel the weight of the world on my back,
But I'm not feeling sick to death.

'Cause I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy
I'm laying down and never waking up, never waking up.

I learned a lot today,
'Cause there's a reason why I'll never live the easy way.
I'm trying to be real.
I wrote down words inside my arm
That say I'll never walk alone 'cause I'll get tired.
I know I'll have my friends in every way,
So I caught my breath and for the first time I found what I'm looking for.

I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy.
In laying down and never waking up, never waking up.

I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy
In laying down and never waking up, never waking up.


Yeah, I went down.
Yeah, I found the way,
In the city where my father was born.
I had a dream I moved out West.
I finally found out what I wanted to be,
So I picked up where I left,
And I waited two more years,
(waited two more years)
And covered up my ears.
(and covered up my ears)
I think I'm ready to sing this time,
(I think I'm ready to sing)
I think I'm ready to sing this time.
I really think I'm gone...


I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy
In laying down and never waking up, never waking up.

I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy
In laying down and never waking up, never waking up.
