Have a party at my funeral where no one has to grieve

Drink and dance the night away where no one dares to leave

Don't make me turn this car around

I’m driving us into the ground

So I pedal to the metal as the engine kicks and screams

Push it to the limit till it runs right out of steam

I fade away in cruise control

The distance starts to take its toll

On me

So let's start again

Wake me up, I'm not getting younger

Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer

(How long will I wait?)

Someone take me out of my misery

In the middle of the night is where it seems to hurt the most

Morning brings the light again but it's still getting worse

I drive into the desert sun

Mirage of all the bad I've done

In my travels I have left a trail of breadcrumbs, hidden clues

Words within the lyrics that I wish were never true

I fade away in cruise control

The distance finally takes its toll

On me

So let's start again

Wake me up, I'm not getting younger

Hurry up, I can't wait much longer

(How long will I wait?)

Someone take me out of my misery

Does anyone remember the ones in the second place?

This failure seeps into my veins

Will I be remembered for songs I didn't write?

I fade away and lose control

Wake me up, I'm not getting younger

Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer

(How long will I wait?)

Someone take me out of my misery

(How long will I wait?)

Save me from myself, my worst enemy
