Stay Awake (Dreams Only Last for a Night) Lyrics
Stuck splitting hairs
And drinking too much
I'm on my way to striking out
Watching and waiting
They're yours for the taking
But I still have my doubts
(I still have my doubts)
Remember where you've been
Get a grip and get out
You're safe
From the weight of the world
Just take
A second to set things straight
I'll be fine
Even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night
Boy, you're tripping
So pull yourself together
Or you'll wash up like the rest
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails
Disappear underwater
'Cause I'm no captain yet
Remember where you've been."
Get a grip and get out
You're safe
From the weight of the world
Just take
A second to set things straight
I'll be fine
Even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything (x2)
Who wanna live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones
Who wanna live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones
Who wanna live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones
Who wanna live it up
You ain't the only ones
Get a grip and get out
You're safe
From the weight of the world
Just take
A second to set things straight
I'll be fine
Even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

Stay Awake would be a conversation between Peter Pan and Wendy. But when Alex wrote, he was at the place of the characters and made a menu based on an analysis he did for himself. His adult side talking to more children.
haha yeah it is 'stuck splitting hairs'. but on the acoustic/live versions he says 'stuck bleeding here'.
nonetheless, this will forever be my favorite song by them. :] the acoustic version is amazinggg.
mmkay, i'm not sure about the lyrics, but i think it's:
Caught in a cold sweat Stuck bleeding here ... Watching and waiting they're yours for the taking ... Stay awake Get a grip and get out You're safe from the weight of the world ... Wash up like the rain This ship is sinking I'm thinking I'm done for I'll watch as the sails disappear under water because I'm no captain yet ... Cause you ain't the only one to wanna live it up You ain't the only one [? ...or what you said.. i'm not sure]
anyways, i LOVE this song.
Where can I get this song?!
