Awake For 1989 Lyrics

i woke up from this rut i've been sleeping in
for far too long this year
got my head up- my gut's got a feeling
that soon it will all come clear
sped up, from giving up
and now my words are so sincere

and everytime i sing these songs
i think of you- and everything you put me through
and everytime i sing these songs
i think of you- and all that we'd do

as it falls into place
i throw all but my deepest hope away
and now i know its okay
im not afraid of this- or your betrayal
and now all that remains
are these words that i was born to say

and everytime i sing these songs
i think of you- and everything you put me through
and everytime i sing these songs
i think of you- and all that we'd do

what is being left behind if you find yourself in ahead?
what is love if its not love as we lie in a broken bed?
what are we if all we are is held only inside my head?
and i'll hold it, and its mine, forever more

and everytime i sing these songs
i think of you- and everything you put me through
and everytime i sing these songs
i think of you- and all that we'd do
