[Verse 1]
I stay awake, like when I was young
Can’t close my eyes, till I see the sun
And if you’re still there by the time we hang up
Some thing is up

With affection
Wishing all my thoughts could match my actions
I can close my eyes to break the tension
Rushing around, unfamiliar ground

[Verse 2]
My courage is sick, my stomach is shot
It’s all in your head, least that’s what I thought
And I’ll still be able till I scream and shout
I gotta get out of Vancouver
Montreal just feels a lot smoother
Rent is cheap and the air’s a little cooler
Rushing around my new burial ground

[Chorus]
Amazing, it takes him
So long to acknowledge
His own right, in hindsight
Swallowed up in the carnage
Now I’ve won, the freedom
To do what I want to
I won’t waste, my instincts
Persevere and follow through
[Verse 3]
Hangover ends, a fuzzy embrace
I feel the sun shine all over my face
And before I pass out, into the daze
My heart is replaced

With sad emotion
Maybe love is better left unspoken
Maybe I sing to you because I’m broken
Now that I’ve found, my original sound

[Chorus]
Amazing, it takes him
So long to acknowledge
His own right, in hindsight
Swallowed up in the carnage
Now I’ve won, the freedom
To do what I want to
I won’t waste, my instincts
Persevere and follow through
