"Face Up" lyrics



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 wanna 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 when you 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 lie 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'll end up perfectly on your own

The city's shining bright
but you don't see the light
how can 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 when you 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 lie 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
I'm 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 when you 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 lie up
you need to wake up
gotta keep your face up
