All's inside the line
Before i knew it all
Cold insanity
Holds my memory off
The chemicals are burning off
And i paint a coat in black
Now my car is always stalling out
And i don't believe in a chance
Just as hard as to come clean again
Just hard to come clean again
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
The chemicals are burning off
And i paint a coat in black
Now my car is always stalling out
And i don't believe in a chance
Just as hard as to come clean again
Just hard to come clean again
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
Long enough i wait
Short enough to pass
Strong enough i run
Good enough to be
The chemicals are burning off
And i paint a coat in black
Now my car is always stalling out
And i don't believe in a chance
Just as hard as to come clean again
Just hard to come clean again
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
The chemicals are burning off
And it turns 'em in blinding blue
Still my mind will only recognize
The things that made me weak
Saw my heart it's written across the wall
My heart is written across the wall
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
Our faces red in the sunset
Creek summer golden in our eyes
Summer songs rings out in my ears
In young hearts
Summer songs plays on all the same
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
I'm waking up this time
