Stayin' Awake Video (MV)

We chase our youth away in drains
Under the freeways and rail lines
Or else we're on suburban corners
Waitin longer every time
Either on a come-up or a comedown from somethin or someone
At any given moment half the time that we're alive
Jump between misdemeanors and felonies
To keep your lust for life lit bright and your head held high
Who can even say what's wrong or right
If you're happy when you wake up you're doin better than fine

She said, "I don't understand how you can stay awake that long"
She said, "this ain't livin, go get some sleep and get on with it"

You poured your heart into about 5 songs
That you still play to yourself sometimes
And the things that drive you forward
Came with warnings you left behind
Trails of words that fell on deaf ears
Cos suffice to say that love is blind
So they work their 40 hours
Payin off degrees that they struggle to justify
If your time is in your hands you're doin better than fine

He said, "I don't understand how you can stay awake that long"
He said, "this ain't livin, go get some sleep and get on with it"
He said he doesn't understand
He doesn't understand
How could they understand?

She said, "I don't understand how you can stay awake that long"
