Lyrics
It's late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile
Expressing fatigue and a desire to bring joy to oneself or others.
The place is flying high but right now I want to be low
Despite the energetic atmosphere, the desire is to be in a low or contemplative state.
Don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles
Expressing a reluctance to move, both physically and metaphorically.
And I don't want to go but I know I gotta go
Acknowledging the need to leave a current state or situation despite reluctance.
I just want to feel alive
Expressing a longing for a vibrant and fulfilling experience.
The times you don't wanna wake up
Describing moments when waking up is undesirable.
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
Highlighting the persistence of challenges even in sleep.
The sun is always gonna rise up
Optimism about the inevitability of a new day.
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Encouragement to face challenges with resilience.
Look at the people all around you
Encouraging observation of others facing similar struggles.
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Emphasizing the universality of difficult emotions.
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
Encouragement to find light in dark moments.
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
Reiterating the need to face challenges with a positive attitude.
Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone
Reflection on the increasing solitude that can come with personal growth.
Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own
Acceptance and celebration of being self-sufficient.
The city's shining bright, but you don't see the light
Contrast between a bright external environment and internal struggles.
How come you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right
Questioning the focus on negative thoughts.
I just want to feel alive
Reiteration of the desire for a fulfilling and lively experience.
The times you don't wanna wake up
Repeating the sentiment of unwelcome waking moments.
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
Stressing that challenges persist even in dreams.
The sun is always gonna rise up
Maintaining optimism about the dawn of a new day.
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Encouragement to face challenges with a positive mindset.
Look at the people all around you
Encouraging observation of others facing similar struggles.
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Emphasizing the universality of difficult emotions.
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
Encouragement to find light in dark moments.
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
Reiterating the need to face challenges with a positive attitude.
I'm looking for more than a little bit
Expressing a desire for a substantial experience.
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
Acknowledging the need to navigate challenges.
Gonna leave a mark, I'm gonna set a spark
Expressing a determination to leave a lasting impact.
I'm coming up off the ground
Symbolizing a positive shift, rising above challenges.
I won't be looking down
Commitment to looking forward and not dwelling on the past.
The times you don't wanna wake up
Recalling undesirable waking moments.
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
Stressing the persistence of challenges even in sleep.
The sun is always gonna rise up
Optimism about the inevitability of a new day.
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Encouragement to face challenges with resilience.
