lyrics

wake up

it’s not a matter of what is right

it’s not a matter of what is wrong

it’s just about this precious waste of space

us trying to keep something so far gone

you better put church back into state

while you just separate note from song

baby just try and hold your breath

while you got this fire on your tongue

then I wake up without a doubt

outside my window

it rains hard enough

it’s beatin’ me up

soaking sense into me

my eyes capsize

wake up manifest destiny

tell me why is it when it rains

it’s like being rocked back to sleep

rocked back to where
the season’s never change

right back to where
the strongest ones are weak

you can rewrite scenes to make ammends

in a film where night time never ends

where the misplaced details might offend

take to your end and start again

then I wake up without a doubt

outside my window
it rains hard enough

it’s beatin’ me up

soaking sense into me

my eyes capsize

wake up manifest destiny

somehow my road just forked in two

after miles of warning signs

but when you’re asleep and on the loose

that’s when you think everything’s just fine

well baby I got some news for you

I'm the young one

I am new

but I won’t say the same thing after you

who taught me everything I knew

then I wake up without a doubt

outside my window
it rains hard enough

it’s beatin’ me up

soaking sense into me

my eyes capsize

wake up manifest destiny
