Lyrics
Stay Awake It's not everyday you put your back against the wall And by the time you take the last shot to the heart the feeling's gone The black top held our feet up for as long as we could stand And I remember making faces, writing our future in the sand Sleep comes to those who won't stay awake Can you feel the pull of the ocean's waves Overlooking the horizon of a downcast day Cuz the future's always brighter than the road you pave I've been down and out and lost along the years But nothing gets me more than when I'm charting all my fears I tried to play the game, I bet my share, I spun the wheel And all I got from that was taking another chance at something real Sleep comes to those who won't stay awake Can you feel the pull of the ocean's waves Overlooking the horizon of a downcast day Cuz the future's always brighter than the road you pave The road you pave The road you pave The road you pave A postcard to devotion, put your thoughts and words to motion Set your scarlet heart on fire and pray to God you've made it in Just because you don't find answers Doesn't mean you don't take chances Give a moment to remember what's been keeping you alive The future's always brighter than the road you pave It's a centralized reminder of the good old days A vicarious solution to the black and gray Cuz the future's always brighter than the road you pave Sleep comes to those who won't stay awake Can you feel the pull of the ocean's waves Overlooking the horizon of a downcast day Because the future's always brighter than the road you pave
