[Verse 1]
Caught in a cold sweat, stuck splitting hairs and drinking too much
I'm on my way to striking out
Go to sleep with the pressure of everyone watching and waiting, they're yours for the taking
But I still have my doubts

[Pre-Chorus]
Before you ask which way to go
Remember where you've been

[Chorus]
Stay awake, 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

[Verse 2]
Figure it out, boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together
Or you'll wash up like the rest
'Cause this ship is sinking, I'm thinking I'm done for, I'll watch as the sails disappear underwater
'Cause I'm no captain yet

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, "Before you ask which way to go
Remember where you've been"
[Chorus]
Stay awake, 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

[Bridge]
Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything
Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything
'Cause you ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
[Chorus]
Stay awake, 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
