The Lights

"Face Up"
by Lights

It's late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile.
The place is flying high but right now I want to be low
Don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles,
And I don't want to go but I know I gotta go-
I just wanna feel alright.

The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up.
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up.
Look at the people all around you,
The way you feel is something everybody goes through.
Dark out, but you still gotta light up,
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up.

Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone-
Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own.
The city's shining tonight, but you don't see the light
How come you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right.
I just want to feel alright.

The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up.
The sun is always going to rise up,
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up.
Look at the people all around you,
The way you feel is something everybody goes through.
Dark out, but you still gotta light up,
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up.

I'm looking for more than a little bit-
I'm gonna have to find my way through it.
Gonna leave a mark, I'm gonna set a spark-
I'm coming up off the ground.
I won't be looking down.

The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up.
The sun is always going to rise up,
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up.
Look at the people all around you,
The way you feel is something everybody goes through.
Dark out, but you still gotta light up,
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up.
