I woke up with some big ideas A brand new start, beginning of the year Eyes bigger than my fears, my fears I had a rude awakening 'Cause season after heavy season brings New stress and hard feelings, feelings But I woke up Again and again and I knew I was stuck But I woke up And it's been long enough I'm breaking through Nothing left to lose And no time now to burn You've got to take action to move Not going to wait for my turn I started on an all time high A year ago the future was all mine I saw it in my mind, my mind I couldn't find an open door But I'm not looking for it anymore I had the keys before, before 'Cause I woke up Again and again and I knew I was stuck But I woke up And it's been long enough I'm breaking through Nothing left to lose And no time now to burn You've got to take action to move Not going to wait for my turn Nothing left to lose And no time now to burn You've got to take action to move Not going to wait for my turn Not going to wait for my turn

I can think all my thoughts One by one as they come across I can feel where I stand If I stop looking at my hand Once you step off the ride Your eyes adjust, the spins subside How long have you been gone? Screens at night look just like the dawn Hella got you in it Every second takes a minute From the days that you don't want to waste What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away Hold on but you don't want to wait What you got and what you give away Watch this, read this, sign up Keep coming back no matter what See the news before you know You're looking through a million pixel pinhole How long have you been gone? If you can't say, you're not wrong Hella got you in it Every second takes a minute From the days that you don't want to waste What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away Hold on but you don't want to wait What you got and what you give away In my mind, running room to room I'm flipping all the lights on When it's blinding outside All the time All the time All the time All the time What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give, what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away What you got and what you give away

You know how it's going to be As soon as you see The first forecast of the weather A perfect storm in a hundred degrees If we could turn it around We could send it away The biggest shadow ever And it hangs over days and days How long, how long, how long Can wave after wave keep the pressure on? I don't want to be lost at sea On my own Can't stop the level from rising We're treading water surviving Life rafts capsizing Everyone to their own island How long, how long, how long Can wave after wave keep the pressure on? I don't want to be lost at sea On my own From now on, now on, now on This is how we ride 'til the tides are calm Never giving in, sink or swim Until we're home Are you out of your mind? Are you out of your mind? Are you out? Are you in? Are you out? Are you out of your mind? Are you out of your mind? Are you out? Are you in? Are you in? Are you out? We could turn it around We could turn it around If we want to want to, want to Oh, if we want to, oh We could turn it around Are you in? Are you out? We could turn it around Are you in? Are you in? Are you out? How long, how long, how long Can wave after wave keep the pressure on? I don't want to be lost at sea On my own From now on, now on, now on This is how we ride 'til the tides are calm Never giving in, sink or swim Until we're home

Are you caught in the rain Keeping the same speed Running in place Out of change and it's late I know what it's like, I see you 'Cause I've been losing the plot All the seasons I clocked Took more than I've got To break out of a box I know what it's like to be you And it always feels like a foreign street You might be close to everything you need But you just don't know it (On the horizon) When you're lost in the night It's a roll of the dice Fifty fifty, left or right, uh huh But soon light returns On the horizon On the horizon On the horizon, ah When you're finally here All the risk in the rear view Safe in the clear Nothing left of the fear You'll know what it takes to be you And it always feels like a foreign street You might be close to everything you need Just keep going (On the horizon) When you're lost in the night It's a roll of the dice Fifty fifty, left or right, uh huh But soon light returns (On the horizon) When you're lost in the night It's a roll of the dice Fifty fifty, left or right, uh huh But soon light returns On the horizon On the horizon On the horizon, ah

Hot Sparks 02:24
It's like the feeling of a hot spark It's like the feeling of a hot spark It's like the feeling of a… Weekend, anything you want to do We win, didn't have to learn the rules Even up against the odds to lose, to lose I'm home again, I think I might explode again It's like the feeling of a hot spark Jumping out of my heart Giving me another life Every time I realize I'm about to make a fresh start And I don't wanna know what's in the cards 'Cause it could be another life Waiting on the other side It's like the feeling of a… Blue sky, maybe for another week July, coming with the air to breathe Alive, trying just to make some peace, some peace It's like the feeling of a... Left turn back to earth Space out and nothing works You learn to reverse, reverse, go Home again, I think I might explode again It's like the feeling of a hot spark Jumping out of my heart Giving me another life Every time I realize I'm about to make a fresh start And I don't wanna know what's in the cards 'Cause it could be another life Waiting on the other side It's like the feeling of a hot spark Jumping out of my heart Giving me another life Every time I realize I'm about to make a fresh start And I don't wanna know what's in the cards 'Cause it could be another life Waiting on the other side

(Call my number now) (Call my number now) Always running late to be no-shows Said goodbyes but no more hellos Now all the doors just closed I just want to know How does a night get so out of hand? (I just want to know) 'Cause I want to see if we can catch the feeling Stretch the weekend like we're dreaming Now where did it go? I swear my eyes never closed, come on I was working, I was surviving If I missed out on all the excitement Should it be so surprising? (Call my number now) (Call my number now) I found my universe in a neighborhood Or I felt like I could That window slammed shut for good, now I just want to know How does a life get so out of hand? (I just want to know) 'Cause I want to see if we can catch the feeling Take this evening off the deep end Now where did it go? Where did it go? You gotta call it, call it, call Call my Number now Now, now, now Call it, call it You, you, gotta, gotta call me Now now now now now

Out of Body 01:51
In my sleep running I can't move fast Like I need something I can't push through the past I keep looking Around behind my back I can't get out When I wake up I'm catching my breath Like I'm shaking the heart beats out of my chest I'm taking up The slack of all loose ends As if I stand a chance I can't get out There's more to the story the more you live it You lost it on a page and you have to flip it I'm so out of body, my mind couldn't find me More to the story the more you live it You lost it on a page and you have to flip it I'm so out of body I can't even see anymore More more more to the story the more you live it You lost it on a page and you have to flip it I'm so out of body, my mind couldn't find me

I was born into a made world Made into a part that takes what it's made to take Nothing more and nothing less, no Never spoken out loud, not to be second-guessed Well I have seen how it lives in me And I have to do better I have a responsibility To make sure I remember Changes, I've got to make Can't take it halfway There's a fire, sun in the sky And smoke in the Summertime, summertime, summertime Summertime, summertime, summertime I can't sit in silence Hide myself in my skin, staying oblivious Just take some risk, a small price To be on the right side fighting a better fight Well I have seen there's some good in me And I have to do better I have opportunities To trade my hope for effort Changes, I've got to make No dreaming of someday There's a fire, sun in the sky And smoke in the Summertime, summertime, summertime Summertime, summertime, summertime Keep looking, keep looking all around Say something, do something please right now There's a fire, there's a fire Fire, sun in the sky, and smoke in the There's a fire, there's a fire There's a fire, there's a fire
