Lyrics
Hey, are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much but I’d do it again and again
If we can put the world to rights and I can get things off my mind for the first time before
turning in
Hey, are you moving forward?
Propelled by the flowing water & tepid orange wine
Swimming without a care
River water coats your hair
In this clean air I am born again
Hey are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much
Hey are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much
Hey are you staying up?
Hey, have you seen that building?
The slates from the roof are shaking and falling through the sky
It’s a blessing and a curse
It just wasn’t built to work
But it still hurts as we watch it burn
I don’t know what I’m doing
I feel like I’m in slow motion and life is whizzing by
But there’s beauty in the insane
Pulling faces on the train
In a weird way I am born again
Hey are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much
Hey are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much
Hey are you staying up?
Hey are you staying up?
Hey are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much
Hey are you staying up?
I’ve been doing it way too much
Hey are you staying up?
Hey are you staying up?
