It's gonna get harder from here
We've gotta get smarter to make it out alive
'Cause you say stop and we say go

Don't wanna be your tenth caller on the radio
So don't bother cutting me off short tonight
We let our words speak for themselves

Don't take it all so far
Don't make it that much harder
Than it already is for you to stand alone
For you, for you, for you

To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
Sleep away the pain

Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay that price you thought you'd pay
You're got the choice, you've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain

Hold on tight to the things you're given
The camera caught it all
Aren't we all forgiven now?
'Cause you say stop and we say go

The world outside is calling on the telephone
They need answers so we'll let them know
Tonight, we let our words speak for themselves

But maybe I'm not right
We're so damaged by the sunlight
Can we make it through together
'Cause honey I don't like this kind of weather
When I'm with you

To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
Sleep away the pain

Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay the price you thought you'd pay
You're got the choice, you've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain
Just don't sleep away the pain

It's gonna get harder from here
We've gotta get smarter to get this all in line
'Cause you say stop and we say go, oh

To wake up knowing you've got the day
To take on without feeling okay
To make yourself unwilling to sleep away
Sleep away the pain

Don't take off running without my say
Don't pay the price you thought you'd pay
You're got the choice, you've got the time of day
Just don't sleep away the pain
Just don't sleep away the pain
