Get up, start living. 
In my head, repeating. 
I tried praying, I tried drinking. 
Wasted youth of a generation. 

Hey there darling did you ever think of me
With the meter running, crawling in the backseat
I searched so long for something worth keeping 
But it's right there it's mine for the taking 
I feel my heart race like hell and I can't move an 
inch. 
So take me higher. 

Every time I turn my back you'll say 
That life works out in all the simplest ways.
And I recall the days when I could take the pain.
But sometimes I feel that I might break. 
Sometimes I feel that I might break. 

Some might say I never ever had a chance. 
Still writing songs of heart ache and bad romance. 
But I dreamt of space and time disappearing 
A place where I could let it all sink in. 
I got this feeling beneath my skin I just cannot shake
So take me higher 

Every time I turn my back you'll say 
That life works out in all the simplest ways.
And I recall the days when I could take the pain.
But sometimes I feel that I might break. 
Sometimes I feel that I might break. 

So take me higher 
Take me higher 

Every time I turn my back you'll say 
That life works out in all the simplest ways.
And I recall the days when I could take the pain.
But sometimes I feel that I might break. 
Every time I turn my back you'll say 
That life works out in all the simplest ways.
And I recall the days when I could take the pain.
But sometimes I feel that I might break. 
Sometimes I feel that I might break. 
Sometimes I feel that I might break. 

Get up, start living. 
In my head, repeating. 
I tried praying, I tried drinking. 
Wasted youth of a generation.
