And what about the times
  Now I'm grabbing out at breaking glass
  An attempt to find a memory
  That makes it seem glorious or at least okay
    But all I have is me
  In a razor caught off guard as you brush by
  The alarm wakes me out of bed
  And the dream I was just having simply fades away
    And blindly do I see
  At the sunlight I am freezing
  And as I start to come around
  I want to fall back to the ground
  Roll over and make sense again
    But its too late I am awake
  And its sensation I can't fake
  As I try my best to pretend
    But once you wake up
  You just can't fall back asleep anymore
  I know it isn't fair
  But once you're aware
  You can back track all you want
  You can mourn for whats gone
  But you're up either way
  You better deal with your day
    I remember I was tired
  In fact I still have some sleep in my eyes
  So I got all warm and safe and numb
  Figured I would lie down and rest a while
  Next thing came the morning
  And you're shaking me and telling me to rise
  And I would tell you anything
  To stall and make you think or smile or cry
  You see all I need is you
  And then I start to understand what love does
  Now there's so much that I can give
  And I finally want to live
  You know before I just didn't really ever care
  And I'll do more than hold on
  I want to celebrate the dawn
  I don't ever want to go back to sleep I swear
    But once you wake up
  You can't just fall back to sleep anymore
  I know it isn't fair
  But once you're aware
  You can backtrack all you want
  You can mourn for whats gone
  But you're up either way
  You better deal with your day
