Face Up

(album: The Listening - 2009)

It's late and I am tired,
Wish I could spark a smile
The place is flying high
But right now I wanna be low

Don't want to move an inch,
Let alone a million miles
And I don't wanna go
But I know I gotta go

I just want to feel alive

The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up,
Gotta keep your head up

Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up,
Gotta keep your face up

Seems like the more you grow,
The more time you spend alone
Before you know it
You end up perfectly on your own

The city's shining bright,
But you don't see the light
How come you concentrate on things
That don't make you feel right

I just want to feel alright

The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up,
Gotta keep your head up

Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up,
Gotta keep your face up

I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
Gonna leave a mark,
I'm gonna set a spark
I'm coming up off the ground
I won't be looking down

The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up,
Gotta keep your head up

Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up,
Gotta keep your face up
