Switchfoot - Awakening
Album Version
Face down with the LA curbside endings
With the ones and zeros
Downtown was the perfect place to hide
The first star that I saw last night was a headlight
Of a man made sky
But man made never made our dreams collide, collide
Chorus:
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines
With my dead beat sky but
This town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive
Chorus:
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my hearts still beating
It's beating
I'm bleeding
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my hearts still beating
It's beating, it's beating, it's beating
And I'm bleeding
Chorus:
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
We're awakening
With the ones and zeros
Downtown was the perfect place to hide
The first star that I saw last night was a headlight
Of a man made sky
But man made never made our dreams collide, collide
Chorus:
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines
With my dead beat sky but
This town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive
Chorus:
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my hearts still beating
It's beating
I'm bleeding
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my hearts still beating
It's beating, it's beating, it's beating
And I'm bleeding
Chorus:
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
We're awakening
