Switchfoot - Awakening lyrics

rate me

Awakening

Face down with the LA curbside ending

In ones and zeros.

Downtown was the perfect place to hide.

The first star that I saw last night was a headlight

of a man-made sky, but

Man-made never made our dreams collide.

(chorus)

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,

We're awakening

Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain,

We're awakening

Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep

About a dream, We're awakening

Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines,

With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight

These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere

And I don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive

(chorus)

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to know that my heart's still beating, beating,

It's beating, I'm bleeding.

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to live like I know what I'm leaving

I want to know that my heart's still beating,

It's beating, I'm bleeding

(chorus)
