Wake Up Call

I’m so sick and tired of feeling cold, 

The night shouldn’t have to feel this long
When all I want is someone to hold
Who are they to say it’s wrong?
But it doesn’t matter what I say
Cause by night it all comes down to
Hoping the next day’s just another day
Another chance to change, but I never do

So here I lie looking for more
Listening to music my back on the floor
And time, time spits in my face
To awaken me, shaking me,
Rat who hates the race

What do friends mean anymore
When today they’re here, then they’re gone
Always thinking about the future, nothing more?
Think about that and ask someone
What were you thinking all those years ago,
What’d you see then that you can’t see it now?
Are people like the wind to you a constant steady flow,
That those who came before, get blown right on out?

Well this blows
So here I lie looking for more
Listening to music my back on the floor
And time, time spits in my face
To awaken me, shaking me,
Rat who hates the race

Hates the time he spent giving himself away
Hates the ground he treads every fucking day
Hates the clouds and wind and snow and rain
Hates knowing all of it will happen again (x2)

But when day turns to night
And I get tired of the fight
I can’t help but have a little hope
That someday everyone’ll know
Just what it means to love.

To feel the warmth and give in return
A warming feeling that doesn’t burn
It’s all I ask, it’s all I wish for
In times like this people need it more
More than they can show.

So here I lie looking for more
Listening to music my back on the floor
And time, time takes me by the hand
Shows me the future, the Promised Land,
Proven with a patience, proves to me again
That people grow and change,
Not always for the better but that’s okay, 

What matters is that you remember your friends.
