[Hook]
Ooh, have I been awake too long?
Ah, I'm taking this way too far
Ooh, have I been awake too long?

[Verse 1]
Then it hits me somewhere right between the eyes
Because I know the cost of time and I've paid it all my life

[Refrain]
Near or far, no matter how close you are
Hopelessly united in entropy
Could it be, the presence of memory
Is all we are, and all that we'll ever be?

[Hook]
Ooh, have I been awake too long?
Ah, I'm taking this way too far
Ooh, have I been awake too long?

[Verse 2]
And then I tell myself it's just so far away
Back to the old routine that fills my every day
Some pray the holy ghost will save them from the grave
But I know the cost of time and I've paid it all my life
