These days are numbered, but we let them slide
Waiting for the worst to end, watching the hours of the 9 to 5
Just waiting for the weekend, It's like clockwork
Dream and never stop to let us look at the world around us
Seems we all must settle for the almosts, and spend our time
Reaching for the dreams we left behind
Wake up, wake up, now, there's time move on through
You're pushing yourself back, waiting as the days pass
Get up, get up now, no ties to hold you down
There's plenty of time now, to turn this yourself around
Do you remember when, the kids we were,
Were fearless to take on the world
Trading places we'd pretend, writing futures for our friends
Just wishing we were older, Hearts grow weary
And our minds are worn, newspapers teach us to
Despise the world, we make shelters of our homes
Feeling safer when alone, this can't go on forever
Believe me
This won't last forever, dying's when our dreams are settled
Cutting through this time, please take my hand, your hand
We'll fly and we can live to justify the time we have;
Wake up, wake up, now, there's time move on through
You're pushing yourself back, waiting as the days pass
Get up, get up now, no ties to hold you down
There's plenty of time now, to turn this yourself around
