face up (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 want to feel alive

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 bright
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

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 off the ground
I won't be looking down.
